Watan-A Palestinian youth is grieving the loss of his friend who became a martyr in the continuous Israeli occupation bombing on the Gaza Strip for the 81st consecutive day.
In a video circulated by Palestinian activists on social media platforms, a Palestinian youth from Gaza is heartbroken, bidding farewell to his martyred friend with tears. He says, “By God, we were together, me and him. Ibrahim, please don’t close your eyes; stay alert.”
“Don’t close your eyes; stay alert. And he adds, “Ibrahim, my love, my brother… Oh Ibrahim.”
The Israeli occupation continues to commit heinous and brutal massacres against innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. This is carried out by bombarding densely populated residential neighborhoods, schools sheltering displaced persons, homes, churches, and mosques, causing numerous casualties among the civilian population, with tens of thousands of martyrs.

The most recent of those massacres against civilians was the bombing of an entire residential block within the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. As a result, more than 68 people were martyred, the majority of whom were children and women. Many are still missing under the rubble of the destroyed homes, according to medical sources in Gaza.
It is noteworthy that the preliminary toll of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has reached over 20,000 Palestinian martyrs, the majority of whom were civilians. Additionally, more than 53,000 others have been injured with various wounds. Thousands are still missing, believed to be under the debris of the destroyed homes in various areas of the Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
