Israel Kills
Families Targeted by Israeli Terror in 2012
At approximately 4:50 P.M, the Israeli
occupation warplanes fired three missiles at a
residential house owned by Yousef Jalal Arafat,
30, which led to the destruction of the house
entirely, and the destruction of his brother’s
house, Saleh, 24 years old. The bombardment
also resulted in the martyrdom of the child
Ronan Yousef Arafat, 7, and the injury of her
aunt, Eman Jalal Arafat, 35, her brother Jalal,
and her sister Maria.
3. Testimony of Nisreen Arafat, 28, Mother of
Martyr Ronan:1
I sat in the living room with my three
children Jalal, Maria and Ronan and their aunt. Few
moments later, we were astonished by the sudden
collapse of the house while we were still inside. All
I remember was the voice of my son, Jalal, crying,
‘Mom! I cannot breathe!’
In a blink of an eye, my sister-in-law, the
kid’s aunt, was with the kids making sure they were
all fine, but they were not!
Jalal, Maria, and their aunt were injured. Renan was
killed. God help us all bear the burden, accept and
be patient.
