Man inconsolable as his newborn twin babies and wife are killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza hospital while he went to get their birth certificate (VIDEO)

Wednesday, August 14, 2024 –A Palestinian father, Mohammed Abu Al-Qumsan, broke down in tears after his 4-day-old twin babies, their mother, and grandmother were killed following an Israeli airstrip in Gaza.

 The Israeli airstrike happened in Deir Al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, and claimed the lives of the newborns named Asser and Aysel, their mother, and their grandmother.

On the day of the tragedy, Mohammed had left home to obtain birth certificates for his son and daughter, who were just four days old. While at a local government office, he received the news that his home had been bombed. The strike that killed his entire family occurred while he was away.

 Videos shared online show him crying bitterly and refusing to be consoled. The birth certificates he went to collect were with him.

 “I don’t know what happened,” Mohammed tearfully recounted, still in shock from the sudden loss.

 “I am told it was a shell that hit the house. I didn’t even have the time to celebrate them,” Mohammed told AP.

 According to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, 115 infants have been born and killed during the ongoing conflict, which began on October 7th following a deadly attack on Israel by Hamas-led gunmen. The attack left 1,200 Israelis dead and sparked a massive military offensive on Gaza that has since claimed over 39,790 Palestinian lives, as reported by the health ministry.
