Israel Kills
Families Targeted by Israeli Terror in 2012
At nearly 10:30 pm, Israeli warplanes fired a missile
at a group of citizens who were near Al-Qurmozi
Mosque behind the stalls market in Al-Shejaya
neighborhood, eastern Gaza. This strike caused
the martyrdom of Ayman Rafeeq Esleem, 26, and
injured another.
22. Testimony of Khitam Esleem, 48, mother of
martyr Ayman:1
During war, we didn›t evacuate our house.
On Friday night, my son went out to visit his sister
and check on her because of the hard situations
and the constant bombardment on the Gaza Strip.
Before leaving, he looked me in the eyes and said,
“Please mom, take care of my sick father and my
daughters..” He went out quickly and I had no time
to think about what he just said.
The moment he left, an Israeli drone missile
hit and killed him! He left us forever and left his
kids and a pregnant wife behind killed. His wife
gave birth to a cute baby boy days later. We named
him after his father. We now have a small Ayman.
God accept Ayman, the father, and let him rest in
peace.
