BEIRUT (AP) — He is among the very last survivors of his Gaza family, a clan so close they knew without thinking how blood and marriage bound them across generations and city blocks.
Then, branch by branch, 173 of Youssef Salem’s relatives were killed in Israeli airstrikes in a matter of days in December. By spring that toll had risen to 270.
Bones and flesh strewn over the ruins of family homes. Blond curls of a young cousin peeking through bricks. Unrecognizable bodies piled on a donkey cart. Lines of burial shrouds.
These images are what survivors are left with from hundreds of families in Gaza like the al-Aghas, Salems and Abu Najas.
To a degree never seen before, Israel is killing entire Palestinian families, a loss even more devastating than the physical destruction and the massive displacement.
An Associated Press investigation identified at least 60 Palestinian families where at least 25 people were killed — sometimes four generations from the same bloodline — in bombings between October and December, the deadliest and most destructive period of the war.
Nearly a quarter of those families lost more than 50 family members in those weeks. Several families have almost no one left to document the toll, especially as documenting and sharing information became harder.

This is bound to happen when entire families decide to run with terrorists.
And yet, nearly 70% of Gazans are all for the war.
And yet, civilians participated in holding hostages.
And yet, munitions and fighters have been found in hospitals and schools.
And yet...you get the idea.

Might not have been so much if you and the other terrorists hadn’t attacked a peaceful music festival and killed thousands....
Then they shouldn’t be starting anything with Israel.
If they didn’t perpetrate Oct 7, those people who are allegedly dead could still be allegedly alive.

Don’t care.

It's a good start...
Ja, da whole Aryan Family vas killt in da var. Heinrich only joined the Einsatzgruppen out of luff for Shermany. He and all his brothers and male cousins died on the Eastern Front, while his parents, onkels und tante and girl cousines died in the bombinks of Berlin. Zey var doch goot shermans, and meant no vuns no harm, only da juice vhat vas makink all da problems.
For people who say they love death the way that we love life, this seems like something they’d welcome.
Yes, indeed.
Remember 911?
These are the families that celebrate the deaths of innocent Americans and Israelis, and chant "Death to America!"
This article is an explicit example of what FAFO looks like in real life.
Exactly. Israel is only giving them what they say they want and demand.
173 relatives? All living in the same area? Seems like propaganda for sure.
When your entire existence is centered on killing Jews, don’t act so surprised when they decide to kill you back.
Shove it, AP. I’m tired of prejudiced, lying media. Get a life. No, wait, ‘tould be better if a lot of your lot lost yours.
Don’t put all your yeggs in one trashcan.
They have been known to spread a little BS, now and then. 🤮
I think a sizeable number of Israeli families were wiped out by the residents of Gaza, most of whom were Gaza “ civilians”
Don’t start wars and you won’t have this problem
