Elderly woman Layla Marjawi was killed in an airstrike while spending time with family members at a tent encampment in Gaza port, Shehab Wire reported. She had been sitting with her daughter Ebtisam, her son Essam, and Essam's wife, sharing a meal together in what appeared to be a brief respite from displacement.
The strike abruptly ended the family gathering, turning an ordinary moment into a tragedy. The incident underscores the dangers facing Palestinians living in temporary shelters across Gaza as bombardment continues in the territory.
