Mohammad was one of 17 Palestinian children confirmed killed during the Israeli military’s three-day military offensive on the Gaza Strip August 5 – 7.
An explosion on August 7 struck the Nabahin family home in Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip around 7:05 p.m., according to documentation collected by DCIP. Three Palestinian children were killed in the explosion: 14-year-old Dalia, 12-year-old Mohammad, and nine-year-old Ahmad Yasser Nemer Nabaheen. The children’s father, Yasser, was also killed in the explosion, and a fourth sibling, Bilal, sustained moderate injuries.
Dalia had dreams of becoming a doctor, and the family used to call her “the doctor of the family” to encourage and support her to follow her dreams. Her brother Bilal said she was an excellent student, and loved painting. She also used to help her mother around the house while her other sisters were busy studying. “She loved her family, and never complained,” Bilal said.
Their father, Yasser, was a captain of Gaza’s nautical police. “He had an honorable career of heroism and fighting against the occupation,” Yasser’s son Bilal, 23, said.
At the front of his home, Yasser had a garden where he used to sit with his family under the trees, and would tend to the garden and water the plants with care.
The home is located east of Al-Bureij Refugee Camp, close to the borders.
On Sunday, Yasser decided to go sit in his garden, and received one relative visiting from the house next door. After the guest left, Yasser started watering the trees with his sons. The airstrike targeted them all.
Yasser was a husband and a father of 8. Half of the children, two girls and two boys, survived because they were inside the house, but one of them was injured.
