Gaza Civil Defence Operations Director and Wife Killed in Israeli Strike

Gaza (Quds News Network)- Gaza’s Civil Defence reported that an Israeli strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday targeted the home of its operations director, Ashraf Abu Nar, killing him and his wife.

The rescue agency described Abu Nar as “a disciplined and responsible officer committed to his humanitarian and professional work”.

Israeli forces have routinely targeted first responders, humanitarian workers during the Gaza genocide.

According to an April report by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, Israel has killed over 1,400 medical personnel, 27 Red Crescent paramedics, and 111 Civil Defence personnel since the start of the assault in October 2023 as part of a “systematic campaign to destroy the Gaza Strip’s health and relief infrastructure to kill Palestinians, while simultaneously aiming to destroy their means of subsistence as well.”
