No warning shots. No hesitation. Just deadly force—like our lives are disposable.

The Abu Shaban family thought they had survived the genocide. Thought they could finally go see what was left of their home in Al Zaytoun.

Instead, Israel bombed their vehicle.

Seven children—all under the age of 13.

Their mother.

Their father.

Their aunt.

Their uncle.

An entire family—wiped out for daring to look at the ruins of their own house.

And this morning—during a “ceasefire”—we’re still burying bodies. Some freshly killed. Some pulled out cold from under the rubble days later. There is no pause in our grief.

They don’t see civilians. They don’t see families.

They see targets.

No one fired a warning. No one cared if children were inside.

Because to their army, our lives don’t matter.

But here’s the thing:

We still say their names.

We still bury our dead with dignity.

We still insist on our humanity.

Even when the world looks away, we keep showing up for each other—

or at the very least, we grieve and carry the ones Israeli injustice leaves behind.

This Israeli (IOF) massacre of the Abu Sha’ban family took place on 17 October 2025 on the outskirts of the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza City as they were returning to their home.

Look at their faces and broken bodies. Say their names. Always remember what Israel did to them.

• Ihab Nasser Abu Shaaban (38 years old) – husband

• Randa Majed Mohammed Abu Shaaban (36 years old) – wife

• Nasser Ihab Abu Shaaban (13 years old) – son

•Jumana Ihab Abu Shaaban (10 years old) – daughter

• Ibrahim Ihab Abu Shaaban (6 years old) – son

•Mohammed Ihab Abu Shaaban (5 years old) – son

His sister Samar Mohammed Nasser Shaaban (Abu Shaaban before marriage) and her husband Sufyan Othman Shaaban and their three children were also killed:

• Nesma Sufyan Shaaban (12 years old)

• Karam Sufyan Shaaban (10 years)

• Anas Sufyan Shaaban (8 years old)

I am sorry the world has let you down. May your souls rest in peace. .إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون

Israel is a psychotic and cruel society beyond redemption. Here’s the domestic remedy, as explained by Orly Noy, an Iranian-Israeli political activist known for conducting exclusive interviews and writing human-interest stories on marginalized Palestinian and Israeli communities: Israel is waging a holocaust in Gaza. Denazification is our only remedy.

The international remedy is the use of a multinational military force to stop Israel dead in its tracks in its bloodstained pursuit of the Greater Israel project. This is a matter of regional self-preservation. Maya Angelou once said, When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. That includes not only their actions but also their words. The Zionist leaders of Israel have hanged themselves with their words and actions time and again.
