Newborn twins were reportedly killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza while their father was at a local government office to register their birth.
Asser, a boy, and Ayssel, a girl, were just four days old when their father Mohammed Abu al-Qumsan went to collect their birth certificates.
While he was away, his neighbors called to say their home in Deir al Balah had been bombed.
The strike also killed his wife and the twins' grandmother.
“I don’t know what happened,” he said. “I am told it was a shell that hit the house.”
"I didn't even have the time to celebrate them," he added.
Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry says 115 infants have been born and then killed during the war.

Let’s be very very clear. This was a surgical strike on their apartment. No other unit was struck. Israel knew he was not home & knew exactly who was in the apartment. This family was targeted and killed.
The mother was a doctor …they’re targeting every one of them as journalists and teachers! They want to erase Palestinian future!

Dr. Jumann used her platform to share details of massacres & painful stories in Gaza. Today, she became one of the painful stories. Yesterday everyone was congratulating her on the birth of the twins, today everyone offers condolences to their father. The endless cycle in Gaza…

This is barbarism. I cannot believe this is still going on.
