US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said today, Sunday evening, regarding the tragedy facing Palestinian journalist Wael Al-Dahdouh, who lost another son in the Israeli war on Gaza, that he is facing an unimaginable tragedy.
Blinken added: I feel very sorry for the unimaginable loss. I am a father and I imagine the horrors that Wael Al-Dahdouh faces, not once but twice now. This is an unimaginable tragedy.
Earlier today, journalist Hamza, the eldest son of Wael Al-Dahdouh, was martyred in Gaza by an Israeli bombing that targeted journalists west of Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
The matter was not new to Wael Al-Dahdouh’s cohesion. At the beginning of Israel’s brutal war on Gaza, Wael Al-Dahdouh received the news of the martyrdom of some of his family members, namely his son Mahmoud and his wife Umm Hamza, his youngest daughter and the one whom he loved best, Sham, 7 years old, and his grandson Adam, a month and a half old.
An hour after news of the martyrdom of journalist Wael Al-Dahdouh’s eldest son, Hamza, in an Israeli raid, social media pioneers circulated Hamza’s last interaction with a picture of his father on social media.
Hamza Al-Dahdouh wrote under a picture of his father: “You are the patient and patient, my father. Do not despair of recovery and do not despair of God’s mercy, and be certain that God will reward you well as long as you are patient.”
As for the last case he posted an hour before his martyrdom, it was: the shrouds of martyrs in a room of the dead… and before that, a lament for a neighborhood in Gaza that has become a ghost town.
