On the impact of Amira’s cries, `Ala’ (14 years old) woke up from his sleep. He went out to see what happened to his father — who left him a while ago to help an injured man sought shelter in the house wall — but he could not see but blood and body parts. He went right and left floundering like a wanderer looking for a way to escape. He challenged the Israeli warplanes and shells that were falling over the place and ran for meters to reach the main street in order to get an ambulance car to take his father to the hospital. However, before he could reach the main street at the door of the Community College of professional and applied sciences, an Israeli reconnaissance warplane fired a missile at him, causing him to join his father as a martyr.

`Ala’ was the only male child to his father among other female sisters, so he attached with his father a lot. At his young age, `Ala’ had an accident that caused him to suffer from a cerebral palsy, but his father kept on taking him to hospitals for treatment over the past two years until he recovered slightly. However, that accident affected his educational level, but he was conscious enough to help his father in his small shop.

Since he was two years old, he had a mother who took care of him to the extent that she gave up her job as a kindergarten supervisor in order to take care of him until he grows up or be fine. His stepmother said: "I waited for him to grow up and be fine and when he did that, the Israeli warplanes killed him." The woman blamed herself for allowing him and his sisters Amirah and `Ismat beside their father at home while she went to her father’s house to meet some needs. She said: “If part of me was cut off but `Ala’ stays, it would have been easier for my heart."

His little sister Haya cried for him when she recalled when `Ala’ was taking her to the nearby shop to buy her candy from his pocket money. She says: "He was very affectionate, quiet, good-hearted, and compassionate."
