Dr. Hamdi al-Najjar died Saturday evening from serious injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike that targeted his home in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip. His nine children were also killed in the same raid.
The airstrike occurred on Friday, May 23, as Dr. Hamdi returned home after dropping his wife, Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar, off at work at Nasser Hospital. Minutes after his return, Israeli warplanes targeted the family home, killing nine of their children, aged between six months and 12 years. A tenth child, Adam, survived the attack but was seriously injured, while his father was transferred to intensive care in critical condition.
Despite extensive medical efforts, including two surgeries to stop bleeding in the abdomen and chest, doctors were unable to save Dr. Hamdi's life.
