Ahmed Al-Qudra and his two children, killed because they didn’t know Israel had delayed a ceasefire in January

On January 19, at 8:30am, a ceasefire in Gaza was supposed to begin. But Israel delayed it on the grounds that Hamas had not yet produced a list of the hostages they would release. Hamas later said communications with the units holding the hostages were difficult under constant Israeli attack and they had not been able to complete the list in time.

But Gazans did not know the Israelis had decided not to stop their attacks. 

That morning, shortly after 9 am, Ahmed Al-Qudra set off with his 16-year-old son, Adli, and 6-year-old daughter, Sama. He wanted to see if his house in Khan Younis was still standing. 

As they passed an intersection where police were directing traffic, Israeli forces attacked the policemen, killing several, and also killing Ahmad and his children. Israel considers all police Hamas terrorists.

NBC News produced a short video about their deaths.
