Ahmed Raed Ahmed

Martyr Ahmed Raed Ahmed, 20 years old.

Ahmed’s friend, Rahef Al-Shamali, says:

Ahmed was my friend in college. We separated after college when he moved to another place. He was always described as a legend. He was the legend and the most straightforward of friends.

Do you remember the college days? He used to be very fashionable, telling us about his fights with his brother over clothes. He was always joking, laughing, and loving life.

He was a bodybuilder and worked at his father’s gym, and he loved his job a lot. Since he was young, his dream was to become a policeman to arrest all of us.

In the recent period, he struggled a lot in the war. He lost his close friend and other friends. He lost his home, gym in Zahraa, and everything. His last words when he called me were, ‘Everything is gone, Rahef.’

On October 24, 2023, Ahmed couldn’t bear all this hardship anymore. He, his aunt, his aunt’s husband, and his brother were martyred in an Israeli airstrike on their relatives’ house in Rafah.
