Everyone who once shared her bread and pies will never forget her generosity. She never withheld from anyone—visitors from all governorates found her door open. She never asked who they were or what faith they belonged to. She would simply say: “Finish these, there’s more after…”

She lived off her land, her chickens, and her sheep.
Her simplicity and piety resembled that of the saints of our time.
Yet none of this—nor her bent back—was enough to save her.
They killed her, deluded by a false promise of paradise under the shadow of swords.

🔹 Testimony of a relative:
“We begged her to leave the house, but she refused, saying: ‘Who will feed the chickens?’”

They killed her nonetheless, seized the chickens, and she was later buried in her own garden, beside the mulberry tree she had planted.


This act constitutes the deliberate killing of a defenseless elderly civilian, which falls under crimes against humanity and a grave breach of international humanitarian law.

The family of the martyr Marwan Al-Saleh left their neighbor’s house to return home and collect their belongings, as well as to contact their son living abroad in Iraq. Before they could return to their neighbor’s residence, members of the General Security and the Ministry of Defense of the de facto authority, accompanied by loyalist tribal militias, entered their home. The forces granted them a false sense of “safe conduct” and instructed them to return to their neighbor’s house with their possessions and blankets. However, as soon as the family stepped into the street in front of their home, they were executed on the spot (the father, mother, and their child).

🔹 In a related incident, the home of their neighbor Hassan Mahmoud Mahasen was raided. A photograph of one of his martyred relatives was deliberately smashed in front of him as an act of retaliation, before he was taken outside and summarily executed. His body was later transferred to a mass grave without official documentation at the National Hospital.
