Qassam Abdel Latif Al-Haj
Age 17 years old
Martyr DateNovember 21, 2023
Qassam Abdel Latif Al-Haj, 17 years old.
“Qassam is not just a number; Qassam is my mother’s soul,”
His sister, @LamaAAlhaj1 said: “Qassam was a high school student, the youngest in the family, and the favorite of both mom and dad.
Qassam was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease in his intestines when he was 9 years old, and this was our greatest fear for him. We were afraid that his condition would worsen to a critical stage, unaware that there was something else we should fear more than Crohn’s disease.
Israel killed Qassam while he was at the peak of his future, just beginning his journey to become a young adult and complete his education. He aspired to become a doctor after finishing high school. He was polite, shy, and excelled in his studies. He had started studying for his final exams since last July.
He loved football dearly and was a skilled player, spending his free time playing football and going to the club.
My mother always used to say, “This child is my soul” Israel took Qassam and my mother’s soul on November 21, 2023”
Qassam was martyred with his family in an Israeli airstrike on their home.
