Dr. Salahuddin Zanoun (Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Zanūn) (صلاح الدين محمد عواد زنون) was a Professor of Medical Sciences at the Arab College of Applied Sciences.

At dawn on 15 October 2023, Dr. Zanoun, aged 59, was killed along with seven of his relatives when Israeli occupation forces bombed his home in al-Geneina, Rafah. Among the victims were his wife, Etemad Miqdad (Umm Ahmed), 53; his sons, Dr. Ahmed, 27, Saif al-Din, 25, and Ihab; his daughter, Karima, who was initially reported to have survived but was later confirmed killed; and his nephew, Muhammad Musa Zanoun, 32. The attack destroyed their home and wiped out nearly an entire family, symbolizing the immense human cost and suffering endured by civilians in Gaza.
