The Attack, Which Hit Homes of the Hasayine and Ebu Şeria Families a Day Before a Ceasefire Began

In Gaza City's Sabra neighborhood, 112 Palestinians killed in an Israeli strike in November 2023 and recovered from the rubble nearly three years later were laid to rest in a mass funeral. The attack, which hit homes of the Hasayine and Ebu Şeria families a day before a ceasefire began on Nov. 24, 2023, turned the building into a mass grave.

Bodies, draped in Palestinian flags and adorned with flowers, were carried in a procession to the Ehli Baptist Cemetery in Zeytun. Thousands attended, including politicians, with banners demanding an end to Israel's genocide and war crimes. Mourners noted the ceasefire in effect since Oct.

10, 2025, has not stopped the killing. Teysir Hasayine, a relative, said, "We feel both the sorrow of losing our loved ones and the consolation of bidding them a proper farewell after nearly three years. He added, "Most victims were children, women, elderly, and disabled, killed in their homes, which became mass graves.

Mahir Mezher of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said the turnout "embodies the scale of the tragedy" and criticized the international community for siding with the perpetrator. Gaza's Civil Defense said 112 bodies, including 40 children, 38 women, and 7 disabled, were recovered after 136 hours of search over two weeks. Team leader Muhammed Ebu Dan said 157 missing people remain unaccounted for.
