Nour al-Huda al-Husari, mother

Nour al-Huda al-Husari took her eight-year-old and 12-year-old daughters to the al-Baqa Cafe in Gaza City on Monday, June 30, “to get some fresh air and try to lift their spirits,” according to her husband, Mohammed al-Husari. 

When Israel attacked the cafe, Nour was among more than two dozen patrons who died. Her eight-year-old daughter was thrown through the air by the explosion but was found mostly unharmed. Her 12-year-old daughter, however, suffered life-threatening injuries.  

On July 6, the Israel Defence Forces announced that they had killed Ramzi Ramadan Abd Ali Salah, who they said commanded the Hamas naval force in northern Gaza, and other Hamas militants in the attack on the cafe.
