Age 13 · 7 November 2023
Fatima al-Zahra was a cheerful girl whose smile and laughter brought joy to every heart. She was an outstanding student, demonstrating great intelligence both academically and socially.
She had a passion for horseback riding and joined a training club to develop her skill. She also loved judo, a sport that helped her develop discipline and focus. She dreamed of becoming a criminal investigator, driven by her passion for uncovering secrets and solving puzzles.
She loved family gatherings and going out with her friends, finding true happiness in those moments. Her empathetic and affectionate personality made her beloved by everyone.
Zahra was killed along with her sister, Bara'a, when the occupation targeted their father's car during a quick visit to their home. They had been forcibly evacuated from it in search of safety, fleeing the occupation's indiscriminate shelling.
Her family does not know the resting place of her body or that of her sister Bara'a, as enemy forces abducted both of their bodies during an incursion into areas east of the Gaza Strip.
