Israeli warplanes fired six missiles at the building, which belonged to Rabah al-Dalu (51). Israel claimed that Mohammed Deif, commander of the al-Qassam Brigades, was the target. Deif’s wife and two children were killed in the attack.

But we have to keep going. We all die for one of two reasons: from bombardment or sickness. We accept our destiny,” says Rabah, who was married for 29 years to his wife, Wafaa’.
