Isra'a Yaser Khader AL-Qassas

Location Gaza

10-year-old Isra'a from Gaza was said to be a very smart child. She was born on the Isra'a and Me'eraj event, so she was named Isra'a. She helped her mother around the house. “She was the most beautiful of her siblings. She had long and beautiful hair, and she used to tell her siblings that she had hair like a horsetail," said her 40-year-old father Yaser.

On 21 July 2014, the Al-Qas'sas family relocated to the ground floor of their house thinking it would be safer. While women in the family were preparing food in the afternoon, they were targeted by Israeli forces. The missiles struck the house without prior warning. 9 people were killed on the spot, including Isra’a.  The family’s bodies were found scattered around. Many others were seriously injured.
