"We came under direct fire, we didn't know the source. Everyone in the car was martyred, except my brother Mustafa and me. He said that after the shooting was over, the Israeli soldiers pulled him out of the car and began to beat him, telling him, 'We killed dogs.'"
"The soldiers opened fire on a car in the village of Tammun in which 37-year-old Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, his 35-year-old wife Waad, and their four sons Mohammad, Othman, Mustafa, and Khaled were traveling. Odeh, Waad, 5-year-old Mohammad, and 7-year-old Othman were shot in the head and died, leaving behind two injured children."
Israeli soldiers opened fire on a vehicle in Tammun village, killing 37-year-old Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, his 35-year-old wife Waad, and two of their four sons: 5-year-old Mohammad and 7-year-old Othman. Two surviving sons, 12-year-old Khaled and his brother, were injured in the shooting. Khaled reported that after the gunfire ceased, soldiers pulled him from the car and beat him while using dehumanizing language. The Israeli military stated it was conducting arrest operations on terrorism charges and fired when the vehicle accelerated toward soldiers. This incident occurred on one of the deadliest days for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank in recent weeks.
