Gaza (QNN)- An Israeli tank fired directly at a civilian vehicle carrying
the Shaaban family in Gaza’s Zaytoun neighborhood on Friday afternoon,
killing all family members in yet another Israeli violation of the ongoing
ceasefire agreement.

Gaza’s Civil Defense said the family was trying to return home when the
tank shell hit their vehicle. The attack killed all 11 passengers,
including seven children and three women.

The victims were identified as:

Children:

   - Mohammad Abu Shaaban, 5
   - Ibrahim Ihab Abu Shaaban, 6
   - Anas Sufian Shaaban, 8
   - Karam Sufian Shaaban, 10
   - Jumana Ihab Shaaban, 10
   - Nasma Sufian Shaaban, 12
   - Nasser Ihab Abu Shaaban, 13

Parents and relatives:

   - Ihab Abu Shaaban, 38
   - Randa Abu Shaaban, 36
   - Samar Shaaban
   - Sufian Shaaban

Civil Defense officials said the family’s vehicle had moved east of Gaza
City and crossed the yellow line before being struck. “It was possible to
warn them or stop them without killing,” a Civil Defense spokesperson said.
“But the occupation remains thirsty for blood and determined to kill
innocent civilians.”

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas condemned the strike, calling it
“a deliberate and complete war crime” and a “blatant violation of the
ceasefire.”

“The Israeli army fired a tank shell directly at the Shaaban family’s
vehicle as they tried to inspect their home in Zaytoun,” the statement
read. “Eleven family members, including seven children and three women,
were killed instantly.”

Hamas said the attack reflects Israel’s intent to continue its aggression
despite the US-supervised ceasefire deal brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and
Turkey earlier this month.

“This horrific crime exposes Israel’s disregard for human life and
international law,” the statement said. Hamas urged President Donald Trump
and the mediators to hold Israel accountable and pressure it to stop
targeting civilians.

The Government Media Office also condemned the strike, describing it as
another massacre against defenseless families. It called for an urgent
international investigation into Israel’s repeated violations of the
ceasefire.

Since October 2023, Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed about 70,000
Palestinians and wounded more than 170,000, mostly women and children.
