He told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, “My family members are not great in number – and will never be. I always remember the loving and kind Eileen. She loved everything and sang a lot. Celine too. They were closer to my heart than I was to myself. The Israeli Occupation killed them while they were in their mother’s arms – when they were afraid.” “The whole family was in one room.” He added: “They took them out in pieces. A few months ago, my sister Hadeel had received a job promotion at her work in the Rafah Governorate and was appointed as a Secondary School Teacher. She dreamed of a beautiful future for her children and was happy to have given birth to a boy. To me, she was a loving mother, a close sister, and a smart nanny.” “She was the first to give me books to read. She always believed in the importance of reading, and this is the approach she tried to follow with her children.”
