A CNN investigation has revealed in unprecedented detail how Israeli forces used indiscriminate fire, over the course of one harrowing night in early January, killing half a family sheltering on Salaheddin Street in central Gaza.

Their experience offers a window into the Israeli military’s overwhelming use of force in areas where civilians were told they would be safe, helping to uncover an atrocity that would otherwise have remained hidden as the death toll in Gaza surpasses 30,000.

This investigation is the result of weeks of reporting across CNN. Abeer Salman in Jerusalem and Mohammad Al Sawalhi in Gaza connected the dots between Roba Abu Jibba, 18, and the warehouse where her family came under fire, after the chance discovery of her ID card in the rubble.

Ben Brown, @mickbk, @JomanaCNN, @IvanaKottasova & @GianlucaMezzo in London interviewed eyewitnesses, cross-referencing accounts with hospital records, satellite imagery and videos. The evidence revealed how the Abu Jibbas came under bombardment by Israeli forces without warning.
