The first moments Palestinian father Mohamed Abu al-Qumsan learned that his wife and newborn twins had been killed in an alleged strike on Khan Younis were caught on camera on Tuesday.

Footage shows him crying and shouting "I want to see my children!" while holding the twins birth certificates, which he had been collecting. He can also be seen during prayers for those killed at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, where his twins were born just days earlier.

A full interview with Abu al-Qumsan can also be found on this site.

According to reports, his wife Jumana Arafa had announced the birth of the twins, Aser and Isel, in a Facebook post just days earlier.

In a statement, the IDF said that the "details of the incident as published are not yet known," adding that it "exclusively targets military targets and takes several precautions to reduce injury to civilians."

On Tuesday, the Israeli military announced that its troops had continued with "operational activities in central Gaza. The troops dismantled Hamas terror infrastructure, as well as sniper and observation posts. In addition, IDF troops continue operational activities in the area of Khan Younis."

"Over the past day (Tuesday), the IAF (Israeli Air Force) struck over 40 terror infrastructure sites throughout the Gaza Strip, including structures from which terrorists fired anti-tank missiles, and terrorists who posed a threat to IDF troops," it added.

Fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is in its tenth month. Hamas launched an unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023 killing 1,139 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping over 200, according to Israeli officials.

Since then, the Israeli army's large-scale offensive has killed 40,005 and injured 92,401 others, according to the Palestinian side at time of publication.
