“Soul of My Soul”: Palestinian Grandfather Killed in Israeli Attack in Central Gaza
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 morning 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.
"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."

The number of amputees in Gaza Strip, already between 5,000 and 6,000, is expected to rise as Israel continues to restrict the entry of much-needed aid, including medical supplies, into the war-torn enclave, a humanitarian organization has warned. The alert comes after two years of genocide and despite the so-called US-backed ceasefire.
