   A Gaza doctor has lost a large part of her family in an air raid.
   Only her husband and a son survived - nine of her ten children died in the attack.
   israel claims it was a targeted attack on suspicious individuals - a civil opera.

The life of Dr. Alaa al-Najjar has been irrevocably changed. Last Friday,in the early morning hours,the Gaza doctor said goodbye to her ten children as she did every day before leaving her house. Her youngest child, her daughter sayden, just six months old, was still asleep.

Since the war started in Gaza and Israeli attacks were only a few meters away from her district in Khan Younis, she was very concerned about leaving her children at home.

But the 35-year-old had no other choice. She is one of the few remaining medical personnel in Gaza and a respected pediatrician in the Nasser hospital. She had to work and take care of injured babies who had just survived Israeli attacks.

she never thought that this farewell from her family would be her last...

As The Guardian reports, the doctor's house was destroyed in an Israeli air raid just a few hours later. Only one of her ten children survived, along with her father, the 40-year-old Hamdi al-Najjar.

Burned, Dismembered Corpses of Children Recovered from Buildings

"It has been one of the most heartbreaking tragedies since the begining of the conflict," says Mohammed Saqer, the nursing director of the Nasser hospital. "A pediatrician who had dedicated her life to rescuing children met only to then lose her motherhood."

Film material shared by the director of the Gaza Ministry of Health and verified by The Guardian* shows the burned, dismembered corpses of children being recovered from the rubble of the Najjars' buildings near a petrol station.

Ali al-Najjar, the older brother of Hamdi, Alaa's husband, described the tragic day: "When I heard that the house had been bombarded, I instinctively ran to my car and drove there because I knew that my brother and his children were at home."

When he arrived, he found his nephew Adam lying under the rubble on the street. "He had survived, was Russian, his clothes torn - but a soul was still with him."

He also discovered his brother, the father of the children, on the street: "My brother lay on the other side, bleeding heavily out of the head and chest, his arm was separated. He was still short of breath."

According to data from the Israeli army, the air raid was a targeted attack on suspicious persons.
