| The Story of
Martyrdom:
Today is 27th of December and it is an ordinary day.
Mustafa Abu Ghunimah was walking nearby the Precaution
Security Headquarter coming home from school. However, there
was a big plan for a war led by Israel against the besieged
Gaza. In that day, the Israeli F16 warplane shelled the
Headquarter of the Precaution Security —west Gaza—
causing the body of Mustafa to fly away due to the power of
the shells. Tens of passersby, most of which were student
who were on their way to school or coming back from school
were martyred.
The family of Abu Ghunimah was grieved by the martyrdom
of Mustafa, their beloved child, who filled the house with
joy and happiness. His mother still remembers his playing
and joy, saying: "Mustafa had left very pleasant
memories to everyone. He was sensitive and susceptible
although he had a very beautiful and obeying
character."
His sister Nariman spoke about the relationship between
Mustafa and his father: "My father was attached with
Mustafa and although he was six years old, he was the
closest to his father. I remember when my father commanded
all my siblings not to interfere in Mustafa's affairs and
Mustafa was happy to hear that." His father said:
"I relied on him very much. He helped me in planting a
piece of land in front of my house and he helped me in
rabbit-breeding by recording everything in order to answer
me precisely when I ask about something. In the house, the
mother asked Mustafa to fix any equipment as she said: he
had a good computer mentality. Glory be to Allah, death
chooses people."
Mustafa was not so much clever at school and he was
convinced to leave school and work in one of the crafts, but
his family insisted that he finish school. I would swear
that the first secondary school will be the end of his
career in school. Indeed, Mustafa did not complete his
school because he was martyred before completing that
academic year.
