Gaza health workers say Mahmoud Al-Madhoun died of wounds from a Sheikh Radwan strike

Disputed · Sheikh Radwan, Palestine · 2026-10-16 06:22 UTC

Gaza health workers, relayed by an anonymous X account, say Mahmoud Al-Madhoun died of wounds from a strike in Sheikh Radwan on the previous day. Separately, Middle East Eye carries a first-person column by Mona Ramadan saying an Israeli air strike destroyed her house in Beit Lahia and killed her father and brother; the column gives no date.

Sources disagree on:

• The merged event places the Beit Lahia house destruction in Sheikh Radwan, but the Middle East Eye column places it in Beit Lahia and does not mention Sheikh Radwan.
• The X post reports one death (Mahmoud Al-Madhoun) from a Sheikh Radwan strike, while the column reports a father and brother killed at a house in Beit Lahia; the victims and locations do not match.
• The X post dates the strike to the previous day relative to its 2026-10-16 report, while the column gives no date and its headline frames the events as a year after the ceasefire, so the two may refer to different times.
