Three years after Israeli bombing, Palestinian man recovers wife's remains
Adham Heriz, 41, finally recovered the remains of his wife, Hiam, 37, and his son, Anas, 17, three years after a devastating Israeli bombing in Gaza City. Hiam and Anas were killed when Israeli forces bombed their home on October 25, 2023. The attack destroyed 18 buildings, killing around 450 people, including doctors, academics, journalists, children, and infants.
Civil defense teams initially recovered 120 bodies during a 20-day operation, but Hiam's remains were among the 105 bodies recovered from the rubble during a recent search. Heriz's son, Ahmed, 8, survived the attack, while his wife, two daughters, and brother, along with their families, were killed.
