Nazir al-Nashash, a young aspiring Palestinian footballer, was killed along with his father and uncle after an Israeli missile struck their home over the weekend.

The al-Nashnash family had fled to their home in the Jabalia refugee camp in the north when Israel started a relentless bombing campaign, following Hamas’ surprise attack.

On a fateful Saturday, 20-year-old Nazir, his father Atta, 43, and his uncle Nael had returned to their six-storey building in the camp to retrieve some belongings and necessities, Emad al-Nashash, a family relative, told Middle East Eye.

“Upon their entry, an Israeli aircraft targeted the house with a first missile and then another, resulting in the complete destruction of the house and the tragic loss of their lives,” said Emad.

Lolwah al-Khater, Qatar’s international cooperation minister, has strongly criticised the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Wael al-Dahdouh’s family. 

“Had this happened to an Israeli journalist, the ‘civilized’ world would now be shedding tears condemning the ‘barbaric’ Palestinians,” she wrote on X.

“But of course the victims are just Palestinians, so I guess that’s ok; they’re used to it and there many of them anyhow!”
