In the nearby village of Irkey, Mohammad Taqi buried his four daughters, aged six to 13, who were killed in an Israeli strike on Thursday along with five relatives.

„The Israeli enemy says every day that it is targeting infrastructure,“ he told AFP at the funeral, his head wrapped in a white bandage and his face covered in wounds.

„Is this the infrastructure? Have you seen it?“ he asked, gesturing to his daughters‘ bodies.

„I‘ve lost four daughters. I don‘t have any others. Zainab, Zahra, Malika and Yasmina,“ he said, adding that he had also lost his parents, brother, nephew and brother-in-law in the same strike.
