Killed alongside Yazan , Imad al-Din

He was his parents' first joy, born to them after years of longing and waiting to conceive, and after hundreds of special medical injections. He was the darling of the family. He loved food and enjoyed preparing it alongside his mother. As the eldest, he was the most attentive to his siblings, always protecting them. He was terrified of dying alone in a bombing. An hour before he was killed along with his grandfather and siblings, he was telling us how much he longed for the morning of the second day of Eid al-Fitr, so he could spend his holiday money on sweets whose taste they had missed for a year and a half. But in the end, there was no holiday money left, and no sweets melted in his mouth. Israel killed him with a missile that destroyed the house on top of everyone inside.
