Israeli forces have killed the sister of the head of a prominent Geneva-based human rights monitor, along with her entire family, in the Gaza Strip, during, what has been denounced as, the regime’s overturning its ceasefire agreement with Gaza’s Hamas resistance movement.

Rami Abdu, chairman and founder of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, announced the tragedy in a post on X on Tuesday.

He referred to her sister, Nasreen, as his “heart,” saying she had been killed earlier in the day.

The attack also claimed the lives of Nesreen’s children, Ubaida, Omar, and Lian, as well as Ubaida’s wife, Malak, and their two children, Siwar and Mohammed, the post added.

“Parting is painful, but it is God’s will,” Abdu regretted.

The massacre came amid Euro-Med’s ongoing revelations of the Israeli regime’s deadly and devastating violations against Palestinians.

Gaza humanitarian crisis: Israel ‘severely disrupting’ aid amid 'ceasefire'

The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor warns of an alarming humanitarian crisis in Gaza despite the ceasefire.

It also took place after the Israeli military heavily intensified its aerial assaults across Gaza’s entire expanse, killing more than 300 Palestinians, mostly women and children, in just 24 hours.

The ceasefire took effect in January in the hope of ending the regime’s 15-month-plus war of genocide against Gaza that began after Hamas and its fellow resistance groups from the Palestinian territory launched a historic operation against the occupied Palestinian territories.

More than 48,000 Palestinians have perished during the genocide in addition to hundreds more who have been killed as a result of the Israeli violations of the deal.

Also on Tuesday, the White House announced that the Israeli regime had consulted with US President Donald Trump's administration before launching its overnight wave of strikes in Gaza.

Condemning the bloodletting, Hamas voiced reprehension over Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his “Nazi” administration’s resuming their aggression and genocidal war against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip.
