LOOK. These unverified images allegedly show the bombed house of the Enabel employee
“It was with great sadness that I learned that one of our Enabel employees was killed last night by an Israeli bombardment. Abdallah Nabhan (33) and his 7-year-old son Jamal were killed in an attack on Rafah,” Minister Gennez writes on X. His wife is in critical condition in hospital and fighting for her life. The couple’s two other children – aged five years and seven months – suffered minor injuries. Abdullah’s 65-year-old father, his 35-year-old brother and his six-year-old niece also lost their lives.
Abdallah was among those on a list of people eligible to leave Gaza, according to Gennez. “This list was provided to the Israeli authorities months ago. Yet he was not given the chance to save himself and his family,” Gennez said. She points to the “crushing” responsibility of the Israeli government. “The bombing of civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians violates all international, humanitarian and war laws,” it said.
Minister Lahbib also states that bombing civilian areas and populations is contrary to international law. “I summon Israel’s ambassador to condemn this unacceptable act and demand an explanation,” the minister said.
