Amir Rifat Abu Shab

Amir was a beautiful, smart child with a lovely personality. He was the brother of the martyr Nagham Abu Shab. He and his sister were very deeply attached to their mother. Their mother, the martyr Rawan, used to pray that she would not have to leave her children, and that if God chose her for martyrdom, she and her children would be taken together. God answered her prayer. Amir was killed with his mother, Rawan Ahmad Yassin, and his sister in their home while they were safely drinking tea. His paternal aunt, his grandfather, and five other family members were also killed.
