Israeli air strikes killed a mother and her twin babies at dawn on Tuesday in the city of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, just four days after their birth, according to several reports by Palestinian human rights observers.

Footage of the grieving father, who had gone to register the twins' births and obtain their birth certificates, has spread widely online.

The father returned home to find that his wife, twins, and grandmother had been killed by the strikes.
