The horrific tent massacre in Rafah, perpetrated by the zionist entity in May, resulted in the ascension of over 40 martyrs, many of whom were children.

In harrowing and painful footage, a man is seen holding the body of a small martyr- a baby without a head.

That baby is 1 and a half year old Ahmed Al-Najjar who was martyred alongside his mother, Faten, and his siblings Arkan and Huda.

The following video is an interview conducted by AJ+ with the surviving family members of the child martyr.

RNN has provided a full translation of the video which viewers can find below.

Glory to the martyrs.

AJ+ Interview with the family of 1 and a half year old martyr Ahmed Al-Najjar:
—
Do you remember this event where a child’s head was missing from his body during the tent massacre? This is the same child before his martyrdom. His name is Ahmed Al-Najjar. He was only a year and a half old and was the youngest child, pampered by his parents.

[Abed] Allah blessed me with a child with black eyes. His eyes were black, black. Beautiful, so gorgeous, I mean he looked so beautiful. Praise be to the One who created him.

The child’s family was displaced from Khan Younis to Rafah and they settled in Tal Al-Sultan in the areas that were declared “safe zones” by the occupation.

On the afternoon of Sunday on May 26, 2024 Ahmed was playing as usual with his siblings when the call to prayer began (Maghrib) and they got up to pray. After this, “israel” bombed the refugee camp and 45 Palestinians ascended to martyrdom. From them were Ahmed, Huda, Arkan, and their mother Faten. Only his father and his two brothers, Mohammed and Yamen, survived.

The martyrdom of my son Ahmed alone was unbelievable and I could not even believe that his head was severed in the bombing. (1:18 - Abed Abed Al-Hafez , father of the child Ahmed) I did not believe it until I saw it with my own eyes at the Tal Al-Sultan clinic. His head was separated from his body. Words about this situation are very difficult. Here comes a small body without a head. This is difficult, very difficult. And this is also my son, it was horrific, very horrific. Even to bury him without a head was horrific.

(1:40 - Mohammed: 13 years old) We were playing soccer before Maghrib prayer. I came back a while later to the shelter and suddenly the doors of the shelter banged. I heard screams and then what did we see? I saw my brother Ahmed at the entrance of the shelter. His head was cut off and his left leg was cut off. He was wearing black pants and a shirt that was orange. I couldn’t handle it, to see my brother with his head cut off.

(2:05 - Yamen: 8 years old) His face was covered in blood and his head was cut off. I cried. I love them so much.

[Abed] They accuse us of decapitating heads. But who decapitates heads? They decapitated the head of a one-and-a-half-year-old child. Decapitated, decapitated. The martyrs were my wife, Huda, Arkan, and the little boy. He was placed in a bag with Huda. My wife was in a separate bag, and Arkan was in a separate bag as well.

What are the most prominent memories and things they remember about Ahmed?

[Abed] I used to tell him “Buba O Buba.” Or baby. He used to always tell me “Baba, Tata” [batata (potato) in Arabic]. Meaning give me french-fries.

[Mohammed] The things he used to love most were trampolines and the ball and cats. So when we used to play with the cats, we would take him. He used to go and play with us. We used to play everything.

What was the last moment that Ahmad and his father shared before his martyrdom?

[Abed] He asked me for a shekel, he told me “teytel” so I gave him a shekel and he came and hugged me. He told me, “Baba.” I said, “What?”
He replied “Baba” and I said “What?”
And he came over to me and hugged me. He went to buy something and came back with Arkan to the shelter. Him and Arkan then were gone.

[Mohammed] When I look at the toys and things he used to play with, at his belongings and the ball, I feel sadness. I miss all of them. I pray for them when I miss them. I pray Allah have mercy on them, forgive them, and grant them Paradise.

⚔️ Popular Resistance Committees:

We call on our righteous people to travel to Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque to defend it and protect it from the desecration of the zionist settlers who will organize the so-called “Flag March.” Let our gatherings and marches be a message to all the zionists and their supporters that Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque are Arab and Islamic lands that we will protect with our lives and blood and all our sacrifices for the sake of them.

We say to our people in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and the occupied interior: You are the broad headlines, the chapters of steadfastness, and the owners of the truth in Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the truth will triumph when its owners move to support it.

Let today, Wednesday, be a memorable day in defending the Arabism and Islam of Al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque, in support of our people and their resistance in the Gaza Strip, and in rejection of the genocide war committed against women, children, and all walks of life with American support and weapons and criminal Western encouragement.
