Shuja’iyya (also Shejaiya, Shijaiyeh, Shujayya, Shuja’ia, Shuja’iya, per Wikipedia) is a neighborhood east of Gaza City. An IDF soldier’s video captured the moment the entire neighborhood was destroyed, with the screams of dying Palestinians audible on the video.
On Saturday, 16 December 2023, an Israeli sniper shot and killed Nahida Boulos and her daughter Samar Anton (pictured right) as they were walking inside the compound of the Holy Family Church in Gaza. Seven more people were shot and wounded.
On 13 December 2023, the IDF entered the Shadia Abu Ghazaleh School, near Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza North and arrested all of the men, presumably for another “HAMAS is surrendering” photo op.
