Israeli Attacks on Gaza Kill Four, Including Paramedic and His Son

HeadlineJun 16, 2026

In Gaza, Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least four Palestinians on Monday. Among the dead is Palestinian paramedic Mohammed al-Habeel, who worked at Al-Shifa Hospital. His father says al-Habeel was filling water containers on a rooftop with his son Mousa when the two were blown up in an Israeli airstrike.

Abu Mohammed: “He was on the rooftop with his son. Why did they target him? He hadn’t done anything wrong. They targeted him because he is a doctor who works at Al-Shifa Hospital. They knew he is a doctor, and they targeted him.”
