Watan-In one of the tragic scenes of the wars launched by the Israeli occupation on the people of Gaza, activists on social media shared a video documenting the moment of burying the child “Mohannad Dihair” in the embrace of his mother inside a single grave, following their martyrdom in an Israeli massacre and a new airstrike in Rafah.
The circulated video showed several relatives of the martyr standing over the grave, and the voice of one of them can be heard saying, “Place her son in her embrace.”
In a subsequent scene, the child’s body appears laid to rest next to his mother’s body in a single grave.

According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the toll of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has risen to more than 20,000 martyrs and over 53,000 injured since the start of the war on the seventh of October last year.
According to official data from the besieged enclave, the majority of the martyrs are women and children.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated on Friday that the city of Rafah in the southern part of the Strip has become a health disaster due to the Israeli aggression, confirming that medical teams are unable to provide their services.
Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra, according to Anadolu Agency, said, “The hospitals in Rafah are small, and the medical teams are unable to provide life-saving services, and the city of Rafah has become a health disaster zone.”
Al-Qudra added in a statement that “Abu Yousef al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah has lost control over providing healthcare to hundreds of casualties due to the Israeli occupation massacres.”
He emphasized that “the occupation continues to use medical aid as a weapon to kill more victims in the Gaza Strip,” calling for “forcing the occupation to urgently allow the entry of aid to prevent reaching a catastrophic stage beyond levels.”
