The tragedy unfolded during Al-Dahdouh's live reporting on the conflict in Gaza. As he detailed the consequences of the airstrike, he remained unaware of his family's fate, who had fled to this location after Israel's warning of a potential ground incursion.
The airstrike claimed the lives of his son, Mahmoud, a high school senior, and his seven-year-old daughter, Sham, adding to the already overwhelming human toll this genocide has exacted.
His grandson, Adam, was declared dead two hours later, compounding the family's unimaginable grief. Additional members of his family are still unaccounted for, buried beneath the rubble of the destroyed area.
Al-Dahdouh, who had stayed in Gaza City to report on the war, while his family sought safety in the Nuseirat Camp, summed up the dire situation, stating, "There is no safe space in Gaza at all, and no one is safe. No one is safe from the treachery and aggression of the occupation."
The Palestinian health ministry has reported that the airstrike resulted in the loss of at least 25 lives, though there has been no comment or apology from the Israeli military so far.
