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.

And the problem is???? Sounds like a win for the rest of the world.
Yes this type of massacre always happens when the enemy drops leaflets warning you a week in advance to leave. 🙄
See post #34.....
No worries, they still have one of the fastest growing populations around:

No, The IDF is eradicating Hamas.

Good, and the sooner the better for all civilized people on the planet!
No, you have got it wrong.
The enemy is Iran. Hamas is the surrogate detailed to war with Israel.
Well gee, I guess they should have thought about that before poking the bear and wiping out thousands of Jews. Oh that’s right....there are no other thoughts in their heads except “kill da jooz”. From birth.
These people are an extra sickening specimen of humans.
And how many families were destroyed by the Nazis in their death camps? Many more than that, I’ll wager.

This just might be the Feel Good Story Of The Day! But it’s still early...
How many of those families were complicit in holding Israeli hostages?

Simply put: Islam is the problem!
“Kill ‘em all and let GOD sort ‘em out.”
Hypocrites! Is it not the primary goal of Hamas to wipe out every Jewish family in Israel?
Well, that would explain a lot.
That why happens when you attack and kill,innocent people and take hostages.
FAFO.
Hah! More like a lot of BS all the time. But then I just remembered how many of them have the same last name.
Reminds me of Larry the cable guy’s joke...”Went to a family reunion to find a date.”.
Enjoy your 72 Helen Thomases buckos.
