The director of the Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) in Gaza, Raafat Salha, tragically lost his life after being hit by an Israeli airstrike earlier this week. The Ministry of Health in Gaza and another rights group have confirmed Salha's death, along with 12 of his family members, including his wife and four children.
The strike occurred at 11:35 p.m. local time on Tuesday in Deir al-Balah, where the family was seeking shelter. Salha sustained severe head injuries and was rushed to Al-Aqsa hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
