Today, while covering the massacre by Israeli occupation forces in the Beit Lahia project, I was shocked to discover that one of the homes targeted in the airstrike belonged to my cousin, Haj Mohammed Al-Sharif (Abu Jihad), his wife Khitam Al-Sharif, and their children: Majd, Ihsan, Rawan, and Jehan Al-Sharif. His sister Suad Al-Sharif (Arouq), along with her son Mohammed Arouq, his wife, and their children were also martyred.
