Yaqeen was conceived in the war. She died in a fireball.
An Israeli bomb killed the 5-month-old girl in her family’s department, next to a Carrefour shopping center in such Al-Hawa, a neighborhood in the city of Gaza.
His father, Ali Aou Sbeita, 30, and his mother, Saja Ammar Sbeita, 25, burned until death in the same strike.
The next day, the video taken by a NBC News team on the ground outside the morgue at the Al-Shifa hospital in the city of Gaza showed Yaqeen’s grandfather, Ammar Shalah, 50, holding his body wrapped in a white sheet, except for blood patches.
“Was Israel hitting?” Nasar Sbeita, 45, demanded Yaqeen’s uncle. Referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he added: “A 5 -month -old girl: here are Netanyahu’s goals.”
Yaqeen’s grandmother (Shalah’s wife) howled and relatives arrested her. Among the tears, he shouted that Saja was breastfeeding his baby when the family was killed.
Minutes later, the three bodies joined the current of corpses transported from the hospital and through a multitude of spectators anguished to a patch of paving stones where funeral rites were performed. Yaqeen’s cover opened to show his face, gray and still.
The Israeli army did not respond to the request for comments from NBC News on why he had addressed the apartment where the family stayed.
According to Marwan Al-Hams, the director of Gaza’s Field Hospitals, at least 60 Palestinians, were killed Monday by Israeli air attacks and shots, according to Marwan Al-Hams, director of the Gaza Campo Hospitals. The numbers include those captured by NBC News images on the ground.
More than 56,000 people have been killed in Gaza and thousands more seriously injured since Israel launched their offensive there after the terrorist attacks led by Hamas on October 7, 2023, according to the health officials of the enclave. Some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 hostages in Israel that day.
More than 50,000 of those killed and injured in Gaza have been children, Edouard Beigbeter, regional director of UNICEF for the Middle East and Africa, said in May. “These children, lives that should never be reduced to numbers, are now part of a long and heartbreaking list of unimaginable horror,” he said in a statement.
Israeli attacks in Gaza continued during the night on Wednesday, killing 58 people from dawn, including 45 in the city of Khan Yunis and several more who expected help, according to Al-Hams.
In Washington, the conversations of a high fire between Israel and Hamas resumed this week after Netanyahu met with President Donald Trump in the White House.
The two leaders discussed the war in Gaza, now in their 22nd month, including plans for a high 60 -day fire proposed by the envoy of the Middle East of Trump, Steve Witkoff.
Later, Witkoff told the White House journalists that the two parties were close to reaching an agreement that until now remained stagnant about whether it will lead to a permanent end for fighting.
After the meeting, Netanyahu said that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza would continue while negotiators worked in a high fire.
“We still have to finish the work in Gaza, free all our hostages, eliminate and destroy the military and governmental capabilities of Hamas,” he said.
A short distance from the Carrefour shopping center, Amer al-Katnani, 38, and his 14-year-old son, Ahmad, were inside a Jeep parked near the doors of the maternity hall at the Al-Shifa hospital, when an Israeli drone hit the vehicle, which put it in sight in a Inferna.
The spectators eliminated the bodies of four people killed in the explosion, including the father and the son. His heads, exploited by the force of the explosion, were reduced to groups of meat when their bodies partially melted inside the car.
The father and son were food merchants, his family said.
The smoke feathers surrounded the puree of the car while the bodies were wrapped in blankets and taken to a hospital morgue, video images captured by NBC News were shown.
Subsequently, the children obtained the garbage explosion site, including the torn cushion of the car seat.
