Asil Abu Asad

“she was afraid and didn’t want to sleep far away from her mother and Ahmed, the ones who were martyred together”

Asil Abu Asad.

Asil was a very modest and shy girl who loved dressing up and cared a lot about her appearance. She always kept trying on and changing clothes until she found the perfect outfit. If given the chance to live and grow up, she would have studied fashion design or become a fashion influencer. Despite the difficult circumstances of our lives, she was a very generous girl who loved to give gifts to her friends and family. She never burdened her father with expenses and was considerate of their situation. She always saved from her own allowance as if she were a child who deserved to spend money like other children.

On the night of her martyrdom, she was dressed neatly, and everyone commented on how well-dressed she looked that day. She spent the evening at her uncle’s house. Her friends begged her to stay with them overnight, but she refused, saying she was afraid and didn’t want to sleep far away from her mother and Ahmed, the ones who were martyred together.

On October 21, 2023, Asil was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on their house, along with her family.
