“Oh, the pain of the days.” Sadness clouds hearts with the martyrdom of Hamza Wael Al-Dahdouh

Sadness prevailed on social media platforms, and pain felt in the hearts of activists, after journalist Hamza Wael Al-Dahdouh was martyred, as a result of an Israeli bombing on the Khan Yunis area, and the family lost a new martyr.

Hamza Al-Dahdouh's last words before his martyrdom Hamza Al-Dahdouh wrote hours before his martyrdom via his account on the “X” platform: You are the patient and the one who seeks reward, my father, so do not despair of recovery and do not despair of God’s mercy, and be certain that God will reward you well for what you have been patient with.

These words of his were circulated by the public, and they eulogized him with difficult words, most notably, as several famous people eulogized him: “It is as if I do not see in Wael al-Dahdouh anyone but the cousin of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, our master Jaafar bin Abi Talib. Wael carried the flag in his right hand, and Umm Hamza was his right hand, so she was martyred, so he carried Jaafar was martyred, with more on his body. Ninety places of spear stabs or sword blows, but Jaafar is still alive, and he has all those blows on his body, and he is still raising the flag, even if it is between his throat and his chest.”

“Oh, the oppression of fate and the pain of days! May God bind your heart and heal it with patience. Today your son Hamza is martyred, and you remain an icon of steadfastness,” other words written by the journalist Nishan as a tribute to the late journalist.

Among the comments of celebrities also, Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Thani, Prime Minister of the State of Qatar, wrote since January 28, 2020. The Minister of Interior “is a hero in a time of disappointment... a man in the face of Al-Awati... he was not uprooted like the ancient olive tree whose veins strike the interior of the land of Palestine, which refuses.” To budge and tell the world, “This is my land and this is my home.”

The Gaza Media Office condemns the targeting of Al-Dahdouh The Gaza Media Office condemned in the strongest terms this heinous crime, and that these continuing crimes committed by the “Israeli” occupation army against journalists aim to intimidate and intimidate journalists and a failed attempt to obscure the truth and prevent them from media coverage.

The government media in Gaza called on all press unions and media, human rights and legal bodies to condemn this crime and denounce its repetition by the occupation. We also call on them to put pressure on the occupation to stop the genocidal war against the defenseless Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

Israel had targeted the Al-Dahdouh family in an air strike that hit the house they were in in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip on October 25, killing his wife, his son Mahmoud, his 8-year-old daughter Sham, and his grandson, the son of the martyr Hamza, who works as a journalist.

Al Jazeera Network reported that Hamza, the photojournalist, 27 years old, the son of Wael Al Dahdouh, was killed west of Khan Yunis, on Thursday, along with Al Jazeera journalist Mustafa Thuraya. Local journalists told CNN that their driver was also killed and another person was seriously injured.

Wael Al-Dahdouh eulogizes his son Al-Dahdouh said during a live interview on Al-Jazeera on Sunday: “There is nothing more painful than losing your blood, especially your eldest son. Hamza was me, my soul mate and everything.” He added: "Yes, we cry and cry, but these are tears of humanity, tears of generosity and chivalry, but these are not tears of fear."

He added in a video clip broadcast by Al Jazeera: “I hope that the blood of my son will be the last of the journalists and those killed in this massacre.” Pictures from the funeral showed Al-Dahdouh, wearing his press jacket, holding his deceased son’s hand and kissing it repeatedly while crying. Al-Dahdouh's hand had bandages on it. He was injured in an attack that killed his colleague Samer Abu Daqqa in December 2023.

Journalist and correspondent Wael Al-Dahdouh performed funeral prayers today, Sunday, for his son Hamza, who was martyred as a result of an Israeli bombing targeting journalists in Khan Yunis.

Wael Al-Dahdouh, who lost a number of his family members in a previous Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip, said his last farewell to his son Hamza, who was martyred in an Israeli bombing that targeted journalists west of Khan Yunis.
