Ala' (13.5 years old) was the butterfly of the house, but recently she was afraid, keeps to her mother’s bosom, and does not have fun or walk in the house as usual. The surrounding atmosphere imposed that state on her where strong sounds shake the bodies as well as the walls come from all directions, everyone was afraid, not only she.

During those heavy days in which the Israeli occupation forces surrounded the entire neighborhood and destroyed many of its houses and institutions, her father was seeking a small chance to get out of the house to escape along with his children the Israeli killing machines. On the 15th of January, the opportunity was suitable when things calmed down, then Ala' went out with her mother, father, and brothers to ride the car and go to a safe place. They walked only few meters and when they reached the crossroads of Al Saleh building, an Israeli tank fired two shells at them, killing them directly.

 The shells destroyed the car and everyone was there except for Muhammad (24 years old) who was thrown away. Ala', her mother, father, and her brother Hatem were martyred; it was a horrible massacre that happened to a small family who did not want anything but to escape the massacre that took place in the houses of Tal Al Hawa.

Ala' (who was the only girl among three brothers) and her mother were very frightened, whereas the father and the three brothers tried to show patience. However, what they have seen was terrible and had not experienced it before because that neighborhood did not jeopardized to Israeli invasion or assault a long time ago.

Ala' was a student in the third grade of prep school of "Ruqayyah Al `Alamy." Most of the time, she got, therefore she wished to become a pharmacist unlike her siblings who liked to be accountants like their father. Not only Ala' was good at study, but also she excelled in drawing and loved it so much. She also was characterized by rationalism and a sense of responsibility despite the fact that she was spoiled. So, she helped her mother in the housework and tried to comfort her as being her only daughter.

Her brother Muhammad says: "I remember the last phone call Ala' made with her aunts when she said that she felt the nearness of her martyrdom. Glory be to Allah! Her feeling has become true and she was martyred with my parents and my brother Hatem. It was a real tragedy for me and for my brother Salamah. Allah is Sufficient for us, and how fine a trustee He is!"
