Activists Honor Slain Palestinian Grandfather Khaled Nabhan
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Khaled Nabhan, the grieving Palestinian grandfather who touched hearts worldwide as he bid farewell to his granddaughter Reem, was killed on Monday in an Israeli attack in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
The artillery attack took place near a cemetery in the refugee camp, where two others were also killed.
A video of Khaled emerged of him kissing the lifeless body of his three-year-old granddaughter Reem, calling her ‘the soul of my soul!’
Reem and her five-year-old brother Tariq were both killed when an Israeli airstrike hit their home in southern Gaza in November 2023.
“I found myself under the rubble of the house,” Khaled was quoted saying. “I suffered bruises and my daughter was injured, while we lost my two grandchildren, Reem and Tariq. My other son and daughter were wounded.”
He added: “Reem was a part of my life. Before she passed away, I dreamed of her growing up and achieving her goal of going to university and consulting with me about choosing her major.”
Palestinian human rights advocate Ramy Abdu wrote, “The iconic man who lost members of his family and was loved by people around the world, Khaled Nabhan, was just killed by Israel. #GazaGenocide”
Israel just murdered Khaled Nabhan, whose story garnered global attention last year when CNN ran a report about Israel slaughtering his grandchild "the soul of [his] soul"
