Details of the Last Hours: During the course of the evening, Abdallah, the father, asked his daughter, Ebtihal, to get some tea from the kitchen. He also asked Maysa (22), her sister–in–law, to come out of the house and join the rest of the family outside. Almost as soon as Ebtihal entered the house it was hit by a missile and was reduced to rubble. All the family members who remained outside sustained shrapnel wounds.
By 6:30 am the following morning, rescue workers had cleared all the rubble except that in the kitchen. The family started clearing the kitchen and it was Abdallah who found a clump of hair covered in dust. He began to dig frantically until he uncovered the body of his daughter, Ebtihal. At this point, he was no longer able to continue and sat down amongst the rubble of his home and wept.
