The slain family members of the Gazan Doctor were identified as his three daughters, Bissam, 20, Mayar, 15, and Aya, 14, in addition to his niece Nour.

Two days after the crime occurred, the doctor held a press conference in front of the Israeli hospital where he works, while dozens of Israeli shouted at him and accused him of lying and of “aiding terrorists”, the Arabs48 news website reported.

Israeli online daily, Haaretz, reported that the terrorist army stated on Wednesday that an investigation into the attack, which took place on January 16, confirmed that an Israeli shell struck the home and of the doctor and killed the four girls.

Dr. Ya-ish is a 55-year old gynecologist from Gaza, fluent in Hebrew and works at an Israeli hospital.
