On January 1, 2009, while the whole world celebrated the New Year Eve, Gaza families celebrated for the return of the electricity, after it had been cut for many days because of the Israeli offensive on the Strip.

One of the families was the En-naslah family. All the members of this family had rushed to finish as much as they could of their housework, before the electricity cut again. All of sudden the Israeli F16, with four rockets, aimed at the reservoir, which is inhabited by civilians. One of the rockets hit the house of Gehad En-naslah, instantly ending the lives of both the daughter Oyoun and her brother Moez.

Oyoun’s stepmother, says, "When I heard the explosion, I hasted outside and there I found dear Oyoun’s body laid down on fragments of glass with her head smashed. Then my husband brought my son. As I checked him, his heart dropped out of his chest."

Oyoun, was a beautiful, tactful, quiet, and balanced girl. At school, Oyoun was a hard-working student; she promised her family to spare no efforts to get the full marks. This was especially true with the scientific subjects, since she always wished to study nursing or physical therapy.

The father described his dear daughter, Oyoun, saying, "She was shy, caring with her siblings, and ready to help anybody. A few days before her death, I and my wife were surprised how much she became beautiful and how her face turned more bright than ever; that was also the case with her brother."

Oyoun’s stepmother adds, "I liked to joke with her telling her father ‘Oyoun became so beautiful and should be married soon’,"

A few hours before Oyoun’s death, the family was gathered; Moez called for his sister and asked her to sit beside him on the rug. Then, he hugged her, saying, "I love you" and Oyoun answered, "me too". Two hours later, both Oyoun and Moez were killed.

Her Hobbies:

Oyoun’s stepmother, says, "Oyoun had the talent of painting and shaping clay; she made many wonderful materials out of clay. One of Oyoun’s clay shapes was so beautiful and I wished to decorate our home with it, but the school asked to keep it, and Oyoun promised me to made another one for me…"
