On October 9th 2023, an alleged strike by the Israeli military resulted in the destruction of the old municipality building of Khan Yunis and the surrounding area. At least four civilians were killed in this attack. Through various social media posts, they were identified as Hani Ghassan Qudyah (19 years old), Ahmed Shehdeh Abu Teir (53 years old), Shehda Abu Latifa and Wissam al-Daghma (18 years old). The posts noted that prior to this attack, they were fleeing from the east of the Khan Yunis district, with one source adding that 50 others were injured. Social media posts about funerals identified the four men referenced above. A Facebook post by Sharif Shurrab is the only post to mention a fifth casualty. Based on a report by Reuters, it is likely that this death is that of a 4 year old girl named Shahib Abu Rokbah
