My father used to always come and pick me up from school during the last bells. He was outside too.

When he heard that sound, he said he wanted to go and save my mother. He went up and then another blast happened, and he was martyred too.

We were in school when a sound like a strong wind was heard. All the teachers screamed and ran away.

A big piece of rock had fallen on my back. When I regained consciousness, a man came to lift it, but he couldn't. Several people came and couldn't do it either.

They lifted a corner of it a bit, and I came out myself.

I miss them so much. I'm glad they are martyred and I want to follow in their footsteps. May God punish America and Israel.
