some 70 meters away from the targeted house!
Transferring him to hospital, we knew he was
already gone. Israel killed my husband.
At 5:00 am, Israeli forces attacked Palestinian
citizenMousaMohammedAl-Smairi, 76, directly
by a warning drone missile, while he was sitting
in front of his house in Deir Al-Balah.
2. Testimony of Sa’diya Mousa Al-Smairi, 43,
daughter of martyr:1
Early at dawn, my father took a jug of
water and went out to make abolition in front of our
house. It was 5:00 am when we heard a sound of a
close bombing. But because Israel bombed almost
at every moment, where we lived, as the area was
made of farmlands, which made it a very dangerous
area, none of us even thought of checking the target!
Only after preparing breakfast had my
mother knew that the target was her husband. It was
6:30 am already.
Trying to wake my father up for breakfast,
my mother found her husband drowned in his blood
to learn that an Israeli drone directly killed him by
a warning missile! We called the ambulance; an
hour passed when it finally arrived to transfer him
to hospital.
My father used to pray on time, despite his
old age. He used to wake up to pray Al-Fajer prayer
on time. After he prays, we would hear him calling
‘Ibrahim’ my brother who was killed by Israel a
year ago. And here he is, following his son.
