Jinan Killed by Two Bullets From an Israeli Tank

Her father’s friend writes: “She was martyred as a result of a minor injury, as they say. She was martyred as a result of two bullets from a tank in Mawasi, Khan Yunis.

The leg injury may seem minor, but in the end it claimed the life of this innocent person who was only 13-years-old.

I ask would the impact of a tank weighing tons of iron and spewing explosive lava on a child like Janan be considered minor?

Is the horror and witness the death, this sweet little girl faced minor?

Is the pain of a bullet wound on a child as young as Janan be considered minor?

Is the bleeding wound without taking medications and treatments minor?

Jinan is one of the twins of a beautiful brother named Qais. They are two delicate, polite children. You can hardly hear their voices because of their shyness.

You see in Jinan’s eyes a sparkle of intelligence that makes adore her. I always saw her as older than her age. That child who loved life, her school, and her family, knows nothing about life except its simplicity.

Her heart only had room for a a rosy life and a natural dream for a quiet life. Jinan loves life, as soon as you start a conversation with her, she takes hold, but tactful in the most attractive way.”

13-year-old Jinan Hussam Abu Shamala was martyred on 3 July, 2024

At least nine journalists were injured. They are Ahmed Mansour, Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed Al-Agha, Mohammad Fayek, Abdallah Al-Attar, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qdeih, and Ali Eslaih.

“(Israeli) Missiles burned Colleague Ahmed Mansour and is still in intensive care, suffering from severe burns as a result of the targeting of the tent where he is sitting in the journalists’ camp at Nasser Hospital,” Wael Abo Omar, a Palestinian journalist in the blockaded enclave, said on X.

Mahmoud Bassam, a photojournalist based in Gaza, said Mansour “needs a miracle” to recover from the severe burns.
