As you can see, they made a hole in the asbestos (metal wall), entered the house, executed the father and took a child who is roughly not older than 11, 10 years old. And they took his mother then they left. The child’s name is Mohammed Sarhan, and Mervat Sarhan is the mother. The child is 10 years old and the mother is in her 30s. Then they withdrew, and the area began to calm down. After the area calmed down, as they withdrew, they hit anything that moved. East of us by 300 metres, there was a massacre against the al-Dawali family. They hit the tent with everyone inside. So what happened is a crime."

STORYLINE:
Palestinians in Gaza say Israeli forces disguised as civilians and under heavy air cover shot and killed a man and detained his wife and child in a raid Monday on a house in the enclave’s south.
Israeli forces drove a civilian vehicle and raided the home in the city of Khan Younis as airstrikes pounded the surrounding area, residents said.
Neighbour, Mahmoud Safi, said Israeli troops carried what appeared to be luggage and blankets on the top of their vehicle.
The killed man was identified as Ahmed Sarhan.
Sarhan was a leader of the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, the group said.
His wife and child were detained by the Israeli forces, according to witnesses.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the apparent raid.
The war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251 others.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 53,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count.
