Summary

An Israeli airstrike hit a residential building in the Rimal neighbourhood of Gaza City in the early hours of October 3, 2026, killing five people, including a Christian mother, Maysa Khader Ibrahim Abu Daoud, and her daughter, Mary Hafez Michel Najjar. Several others were reported injured. The Israeli military said the strike targeted a Hamas official, while Hamas has not confirmed that claim. Reports differ on some names and details of the victims. Pope Leo XIV, the Latin and Greek Orthodox Patriarchates of Jerusalem, and Cardinal Pizzaballa expressed sympathy and called for an end to hostilities and protection of civilians. Funerals were held at St. Porphyrios Greek Orthodox Church. A 14-year-old resident, Fuad, described the blast and his fear for his safety.
