"Ali's tragic death at age sixteen highlights the grim reality faced by ordinary families in Gaza, where violence has tragically become a norm. The loss of life is immense, where a simple act of sitting outside can cost lives and transform families forever."
"The drone strike that killed my nephew Ali was a calculated attack, not a random misfire. It left behind a gaping silence—a stark reminder of the brutal efficiency of modern warfare that predominately targets innocent lives."
The deaths of Juri, a six-year-old girl, and Ali, a sixteen-year-old boy, illustrate the brutal reality of life in Gaza. Both were innocent victims of indiscriminate drone strikes, which destroyed their family without any regard. Neither were fighters nor hiding; they simply existed in a place where safety is a luxury. The enduring silence left by the drone strike, which deliberately chose its target, raises crucial questions about accountability. Despite the heartache, there remains a hope for peace and recognition of a Palestinian state as indicated by participation in global peace conferences.
