Beit Lahia
Massacre of Ibrahim al-Maqadma Mosque or The 2009 Ibrahim al-Maqadma Mosque strike occurred on January 3, 2009, as part of the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza War when the Israeli Air Forces launched a missile and hit "the Martyr Ibrahim al-Maqadma Mosque" in Beit Lahia in the Gaza strip during the evening prayers (Maghrib prayer). Witnesses said over 200 Palestinians were praying inside at that time. At least 16 people, including six children were killed, and more than 60 wounded. The mosque, located in the town of Beit Lahiya in the Gaza Strip, is named after a founder of Hamas "Ibrahim al-Makadmeh" who was killed by the Israelis in 2004.
