Incident Appendix

During the afternoon/evening of May 13, 2025, the Israeli military dropped dozens of bombs that hit and damaged the European Hospital and surrounding homes in Khan Younis, Gaza, killing at least 15 civilians, including two children and two women, and injuring 70 others, including four journalists. The Israeli military announced the strike, initially stating that they were targeting Hamas militants and a tunnel network underneath the European Hospital, and later announcing that the strike hit senior Hamas militant Mohammad Sinwar and a number of other fighters. Sinwar was likely one of at least three Hamas militants killed. Airwars researchers were able to identify the names of 15 civilians killed in the strike, though some reports put the death toll as high as 48. Journalist Mohamed Awad reported on Facebook that “martyrs and wounded” had resulted from an Israeli air strike on the Gaza European Hospital and the surrounding area, and included a list of people killed: 29-year-old Hamza Jamil Abdul Hadi Safi, 38-year-old Muhammad Rafiq Abdul Hadi Safi, 22-year-old Jamil Muhammad Jamil Safi, 28-year-old Abdullah Jamal Suleiman al-Farra, 36-year-old Ahmad Faris Jabr Radi, 58-year-old Muhammad Mahmoud Abdul Karim al-Afghani (Abu Iyad), his son 28-year-old Anas Muhammad Mahmoud al-Afghani, his daughter 14-year-old Malak Muhammad Mahmoud al-Afghani, and 23-year-old Bilal Bashir Abu Amuna. On May 13, Facebook account “People of Ma’an and eastern Khan Yunis”, also published a list of those killed in the violence. The account was the first to report the deaths of 18-year-old Muhammad Saeed Muhammad al-Aqqad and 54-year-old Kifah Ibrahim Khalil al-Qudsi (al-Afghani), wife of Mohammad Mahmoud and mother of Anas and siblings.
