Sheikh Khaled Nabhan, the grieving Palestinian grandfather who touched the hearts of millions worldwide as he bid farewell to his granddaughter Reem, was killed on Monday morning in an Israeli attack in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
He was killed in an Israeli artillery attack on a place near a cemetery in the refugee camp, where two others were also killed.
A video of Khaled emerged of him kissing the lifeless body of his three-year-old granddaughter Reem, calling her ‘the soul of my soul!’
Reem and her five-year-old brother Tariq were both killed when an Israeli airstrike hit their home in southern Gaza.
“I found myself under the rubble of the house,” Khaled was quoted saying. “I suffered bruises and my daughter was injured, while we lost my two grandchildren, Reem and Tariq. My other son and daughter were wounded.”
He added: “Reem was a part of my life. Before she passed away, I dreamed of her growing up and achieving her goal of going to university and consulting with me about choosing her major,” as reported in the Quds News Network.
