Israel Kills
Families Targeted by Israeli Terror in 2012
her brother shouted, ‘Ameera! Ameera, escape!
Quickly! Lower yourself.’ Ameera started running
unconsciously but the missile was faster than she
was.
Ameera, her grandfather, and brother were
all in danger. The missile killed my father-in-law
and my daughter and injured my son! God help me
bear this burden, and be patient.
Around 1:45 pm, Israeli warplanes fired a missile
at a group of citizens near al Khuzondar Gas
Station in Sudanya area, northern Gaza, killing
MohammadAshqar, 22, and injuring three other
citizens.
5. Testimony of Um Fayz Ashqar, Mother of
Martyr:1
The night before, Mohammed was staying at his
friend’s house spending the night with friends when
he woke up suddenly and smiled. His friends kept
asking him if he had a nice dream, but he refused to
tell them anything about it.
In the morning, while on his way home,
Mohammad was attacked by a drone missile. We
did not know about that when it happened. My
married daughter called on my phone and asked
about her brother, we told her that he was out. She
told us that the radio just broadcasted the news of
his martyrdom!
My husband didn’t believe it. He
immediately called our son who works at Al-Shifa
Hospital and asked him if he knew anything about
it. He said, ‘Yes. I found his dead body.’
