The very few survivors of the Abu Nasr family confirmed that the Israeli occupation's attack on the Beirut Lahia project building a few days ago was carried out without any prior warning.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, the survivors revealed that the building was sheltering 250 displaced Palestinians. "We had to walk around the bodies of our loved ones, and we buried 117 members of our family," they said.
“We buried 117 martyrs from the family, and over a 100 are still missing under the rubble. I’m the only remaining adult, with only a few children.”

Israeli occupation forces exterminated the al-Ghandour family in north Gaza, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
In central Gaza, 47 Palestinians were killed and tens were injured, overwhelmingly women and children, in the Israeli bombardment of Deir al-Balah, the Nuseirat refugee camp, and al-Zawaideh, during the early hours of Friday.
The occupation's artillery shelled eastern al-Qarara, in north Khan Younis, south Gaza.

The municipality of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza declared on Wednesday the city a "disaster zone" due to the ongoing Israeli blockade and the paramount destruction.
The municipality reported that "the city is without food, water, hospitals, doctors, essential services, or means of communication," urging an end to the siege and the establishment of a safe corridor to deliver medical supplies, food, fuel, civil defense equipment, and ambulances.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that "over 150 people have been martyred in recent hours amid ongoing massacres across the Gaza Strip." Meanwhile, heavy Israeli bombardment has continued to target the besieged area of Jabalia in northern Gaza.
