Israeli Airstrikes In Gaza Kill 5 Of MN Woman's Relatives

BLAINE, MN — Five relatives of a Minnesota woman were killed during Israeli airstrikes early Sunday, according to the local chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Two different strikes hit the childhood home of Fatma Abumousa, which was located in the Khan Younis refugee camp in Gaza. Abumousa moved from that very home in Gaza to Minnesota three years ago, and now lives with her husband in Blaine.

The strikes killed her sister-in-law, 40-year-old Hiba Abumousa, her cousin, 40-year-old Hani, and her three nephews, aged 18, 7 and 5, Fox 9 reported.

Abumousa used to talk to her family daily but information has been limited since the war between Israel and Hamas started.

"I have to wait at least a whole day to have information about anything, anyone," she told the news station. "I can't communicate with them because there is no internet, no electricity, no communication."

People with Minnesota connections have been killed on both sides of the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Cindy Flash — originally from St. Paul — and her Israeli husband were killed in their own home during the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel.

Noi Maudi, who taught at Talmud Torah of St. Paul, was also killed by Hamas terrorists.
