The mother of the martyr Nael Al-Kahlot returned to her home in Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip, during the days of Eid. She found it in ruins, so she set up a tent on its rubble, insisting on staying in her home, which was destroyed by the occupation forces.
Nael’s mother returned with the hope of finding remnants of the memories and life she lived inside this house, from which she was displaced with her family to escape the fire of the occupation army, but she found that “everything had disappeared.”
The image of her grandchildren gathering around her every day to eat their breakfast of bread, olives, honey, and the most delicious foods is still stuck in the mind of the martyr’s mother.
She wished she could enter her martyr son’s room, lie on his bed, and inhale the scent of his personal belongings, but instead of the “villa” in which the family had invested all their savings, they now lived in a worn-out tent that did not protect them from the heat of the sun or the cold of the nights.
Despite the harsh conditions, Nael’s mother confirmed that she and her family would return to their home and rebuild it, and that the trees in front of their house would flourish again and give them greenery and abundance.
