Eileen Al-Khayyat
Age 7 years old
Martyr DateOctober 13, 2023
Eileen Al-Khayyat loved drawing. In her last communication with her uncle Kareem Abu al-Rous, who resides outside Gaza, she sent several drawings she made during the bombardment and insisted on sending them to her uncle Kareem. Eileen was a simple dreamer, just 7 years old. She wished to travel and own a Lego toy. She, along with her family and siblings Celine, 5 years old, and Mahmoud, 42 days old, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home on 13/10/2023, and she never got to buy that Lego toy.
إِنَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him we return.
