KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Entire generations of Palestinian families in the besieged Gaza Strip have been killed in airstrikes in the ongoing Hamas-Israel war. They include infants to elderly grandparents, killed in attacks the Israeli army says aim to root out the militant group from the densely populated coastal territory. The unprecedented violence has raised troubling questions about Israeli tactics.

He is just one among many who say the same thing, and ask why their relatives were killed.
