On 5 November 2023, the Israel Defense Forces bombed al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip with an airstrike. At least 40 people were killed, who were mostly women and children.[1][2][3] The Israeli bombing destroyed the Sam'an family's home in the refugee camp and caused severe damage to neighboring homes and infrastructure.
