Civil defense teams search for victims or potential survivors through the rubble of the al-Shanti family home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City after it was bombed by Israeli warplanes. Fellow journalist Iman Hatem al-Shanti and her son, Bilal, have so far been confirmed killed in the attack.

The cursed Israeli army killed my resilient and ambitious friend, journalist Eman Al-Shanti. They bombed her home in #Gaza while she was with her children. Her eldest son, Bilal, was found killed under the rubble, but the fate of her other children is still unknown.
Eman was not just a number. Eman was not just anyone. Eman mattered.

Fellow journalist Iman Al-Shanti is a martyr, along with her family. I met her yesterday, Tuesday, in the hospital and she complimented me a lot on the coverage. She was always trying to reassure me about the situation in her difficult region. However, she and her family remained steadfast there in the face of death.
Her name and images continue to trend on the social media.
