Gaza City – When Mohammad Saad heard that an Israeli air strike had killed his cousin Reema Saad, he says the news hit the family “like a lightning bolt”.Reema, 31, her husband Mohammed Telbani, 29, and their two children were in their apartment in Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood in the early hours of Wednesday when an air strike hit the residential building, destroying their apartment.Recommended Stories list of 4 itemslist 1 of 4Rising attacks in religiously ‘mixed’ Israel towns amid Gaza pushlist 2 of 4Gaza faces threat of Israeli ground offensive as strikes continuelist 3 of 4In Pictures: Ruins and devastation as Israeli attacks pummel Gazalist 4 of 4‘Everything lost in an eye blink’: Gaza towers targeted by Israelend of listReema, who was four months pregnant, and five-year-old Zeid died immediately, and Mohammed later died in the intensive care unit, but the body of their daughter, three-year-old Maryam, has yet to be recovered from the site of the attack. Saad said the family did not receive any warning before the air raid.“I’m communicating with the fire department and civil defence crews in Gaza to help us find Maryam and have her rest and be buried near her mother, who would have wanted that,” Saad said.The day before the air attack had been a joyous one, with Reem visiting her family to congratulate her brother on his engagement. “The next day, she went home and was targeted,” Saad said.The family is hiding the news of the killings from Mohammed Telbani’s mother, out of fear she may suffer from a heart attack.Death toll risesSince Israel launched air raids on the besieged Gaza Strip late on Monday, Gaza’s health ministry says at least 113 people, including 31 children, have been killed, and 580 others have been wounded.At least seven Israelis including a child have been killed in rocket attacks launched by armed groups in Gaza, which is ruled by the Palestinian group, Hamas.The latest escalation in violence followed weeks of tensions in occupied East Jerusalem over a now-postponed court hearing relating to the forced expulsion of several Palestinian families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood.Frictions in the city also spread to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which Israeli forces raided on three consecutive days during the final week of Ramadan, firing tear gas and stun grenades at worshippers inside the mosque.Get instant alerts and updates based on your interests. Be the first to know when big stories happen.Hamas on Monday issued an ultimatum demanding Israel withdraw its forces from the compound, the third holiest site in Islam which is also revered by Jews.Shortly after the deadline expired, Hamas launched several rockets towards Jerusalem, with Israel launching air strikes soon afterwards.Israel’s military says about 1,600 rockets have been fired from Gaza towards various locations in Israel since Monday.Its spokesman Jonathan Conricus told reporters on Thursday that attacks on Gaza will continue as Israel prepares for “multiple scenarios”.“We have ground units that are prepared and are in various stages of preparing ground operations,” he said. The Israeli defence minister, Benny Gantz, approved the mobilisation of 9,000 more reservist troops.Sombre EidThursday was the first day of Eid al-Fitr, a religious holiday for Muslims marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan. But instead of joyous celebrations and gatherings for families and friends, funerals were held as Hamas sent more rockets into Israel and Israeli fighter jets continued to hit the besieged enclave, including in Rafah, near the border with Egypt.In Gaza City, the mourners carried the dead from Al-Omari Mosque on Thursday morning to the graveyard in the far east of the city. Throughout the procession, the sound of bombarding air strikes and rockets firing were heard almost constantly.Due to the air raids, condolences for those killed were shared only by phone.Responders continued to pull out bodies beneath rubble Thursday evening. The entire Al Tanani family including four children were recovered from the rubble of their house in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza.Four people including two children were found in the Al Rantisi family house in Rafah, local media reported.‘I hope they didn’t feel anything’Some Palestinians have been sharing the news of their killed family members on social media, noting their status as civilians.Bayan AbuSultan, 25, said her cousin Hadeel Arafa, 27, and her 50-year-old aunt, Miami, a mother of four, were killed while preparing for Eid in their house in the Amal neighbourhood of Khan Younis, when an Israeli air strike hit their home at about 3pm on Wednesday.There was no prior warning of an imminent strike as Miami’s brother was on a call with her a few minutes before the bombing. AbuSultan said that she and Hadeel had been planning to go shopping together after Ramadan as she was supposed to get married a few days after Eid al-Fitr.The last that she had heard from her cousin was when she shared her Facebook status, praying for those killed.“Little did she know that soon after we’ll be wishing her exactly the same,” AbuSultan said. “I shiver every time I think of how terrified they were. I hope they didn’t feel anything.”The Israeli air strikes have hit police headquarters and government buildings, three high-rise buildings, an ice cream factory in the east of Gaza and the Al-Salah school in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.On Wednesday, Israeli air raids destroyed the al-Shorouq tower, which housed media organisations. Its ruins covered the streets of Remal, the busiest shopping street in Gaza City.The Israeli military has said it only targets multi-storey buildings which are “military targets”. Other buildings it has struck are “strategically significant” sites belonging to Hamas, it said.Rights group denounces ‘collective punishment’In a statement published on Tuesday, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (EMHRM) said that Israel’s “widespread bombardment, including civilian objects without respecting the principle of proportionality … is utterly appalling”.Israeli forces have “expanded their response to include targeting dozens of civilian objects, women and children and bombing densely populated gatherings, which according to the Rome Statute, is a war crime,” it said, adding that its targeting of civilian objects exceeds military necessities.In one of the air strikes, Israeli forces killed Amira Abdel Fattah Subuh, 58, and her son Abd al-Rahman Yusef Subuh, 19, a disabled young man who suffers from cerebral palsy, the group said.While the Israeli army announced later that it targeted the home of a battalion commander, field investigations confirm that no one was in the targeted flat during the bombing, according to EMHRM.“This incident is an example of  Israel’s bombing policy that does not consider the principle of proportionality. Israel targets civilian objects deliberately to inflict damage upon victims and leave them with material losses as a form of revenge and collective punishment, prohibited by the rules of international humanitarian law.”

Geneva – The Israeli Army has killed and maimed many Palestinians in the deliberate targeting of unprotected homes with families inside in inhumane military operations, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said.   Since the beginning of the current Israeli bombing blitz, the Israeli forces targeted 27 families: sixteen homes of families were bombed and destroyed with families being inside; two civil gatherings of family members were targeted; a man and his wife were stuck inside their car, and a man and his son were targeted in agricultural land. So far, the reported incidents have left 78 Palestinians killed, including 30 children and 22 women. The victims include husbands and wives, mothers and siblings. Three mothers were also reportedly killed along with their three or four children.    The death toll is expected to rise as many victims are still buried under the ruins due to the difficulties faced by the rescue teams. One of the most horrific crimes was on Sunday, March 16, at 1:00 p.m., when the Israeli warplanes fired about 50 missiles at buildings, residential homes, and roads in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City. The raids targeted a residential building belonging to Abu Al-Awf family, another for the Al-Kulak family, and the Ministry of Labor headquarters. The missiles killed 42 civilians, including 10 children and 16 women, while 50 others were wounded, including eight children, and 15 women. This horrific attack came a day after Israeli warplanes committed a massacre by targeting Alaa Muhammad Abdel-Al Abu Hatab's home in Shati refugee camp, northwest of Gaza City, with at least six rockets. The home was completely destroyed without prior notice. Abu Hatab's family was killed including his wife, their four children, his sister, and her three children who fled their home due to the heavy bombing in east Gaza. Another child remains missing, only a five-month-old infant has survived the deadly attack. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, since last Monday, 10 May, 192 people have been killed, including 58 children and 34 women, while 1,235 have been wounded. The number is expected to increase as search and rescue operations continue. The attack was not an isolated incident but another example of Israeli’s systematic policy that we have witnessed over the past six days. In 2014, Euro-Med Monitor documented 144 incidents where at least two or more of the same family were killed. The victims' number reached 750 at that time. The reported attacks are part of hundreds of Israeli air raids that destroyed 719 residential units and partially destroyed at least 4,000 homes and facilities in the 2014 attack. The chart below includes a list of the victims killed between Monday, May 10, 2021, to Sunday, May 16, 2021 (19:00).

Home bombing 16 May Gaza Israel continues its systematic policy, which targets residential buildings and densely populated neighborhoods. The Israeli government disregards the international humanitarian laws and takes advantage of the international community's failure to hold it accountable for its violations. Article 25 of the 1899 Hague Regulations provides: “The attack or bombardment of towns, villages, habitations or buildings which are not defended, is prohibited.” Article 53 of the Fourth Geneva Convention also states that "Any destruction by the Occupying Power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons, or to the State, or to other public authorities, or to social or cooperative organizations, is prohibited, except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations." According to Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, the unjustified destruction of properties is considered a grave breach of the Convention. It is also considered a war crime according to Article 8 (2) (b) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) The international community's silence and the European Union’s negative position towards the ICC's investigation into the war crimes carried out in the occupied territories gave Israel the green light to continue with its escalated violations against Palestinians. All acting powers should work to end Israeli’s aggressive offensive on the people of Gaza and act immediately to stop the military operations that are claiming more civilian lives every hour. The ICC should monitor the ongoing Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, including them in their recent investigations into Israel’s previous violations, and hold Israeli leaders and soldiers accountable.

An Israeli warplane missile shattered the joy of Eid for the Rantisi family in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, as they were preparing for a small family gathering. According to an Anadolu Agency report, the wives of the Rantisi brothers were preparing to meet at 8:00 PM on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, last Thursday, bringing out the traditional Eid treats and sweets. However, an Israeli missile, launched by the occupation army's warplanes, had other plans. It struck their two-story home in the al-Junayna neighborhood of Rafah, killing and wounding members of the same family. The Israeli bombing killed four family members: the mother, Siham (55 years old); her son, Raed (27 years old); his wife, Shaimaa; and their grandson, Ibrahim (seven months old). More than ten others were injured, most of them children, who are still receiving treatment. Umm Yousef al-Rantisi Her husband died when her children were young. She endured, persevered, and suffered, raising them until they grew up and married off their sons and daughters. She fulfilled her duty completely, and yesterday God chose her as a martyr when her home was bombed while she was inside. She deserves to be among the Prophet's companions in Paradise, for she patiently raised orphans. What then of her home being destroyed while she was inside? pic.twitter.com/vKitOpG93j — Abo marzoq zaqout 🇵🇸 (@mds123111) May 15, 2021 "The Israeli missile violated the sanctity of our home, turning it into rubble. Bodies, children's toys, clothes, and bedding were scattered along with it," says Raeda al-Rantisi, the 45-year-old daughter of the martyr Siham. Raeda adds: Her brothers' wives were about to spend the Eid evening together, after being prevented from going out with their children for a stroll due to the difficult security situation. She said, "Those were incredibly difficult moments. Everything turned to ash, the smell of death and gunpowder filled the air, toys were scattered, and screams of shock and horror filled the air." Rantisi continued, "I never imagined this would happen. Although it's not impossible for the occupation to target any house in Gaza, the high population density in our neighborhood gave us a false sense of security. How could a place like this be bombed?" One of the children, not yet seven months old, was killed, while the others remain hospitalized, covered in blood, wounds, and burns all over their bodies. Raida appealed to the world to take action to stop the Israeli war machine and restrain its brutal practices of killing and abusing the Palestinian people. The Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip continues for the sixth consecutive day, with the Israeli army launching widespread raids on all areas of the Strip. Palestinian factions are responding by firing rockets heavily at several cities inside Israel in retaliation for the targeting of civilians. But the brutality of the occupation authorities has crossed all red lines. Human rights organizations have documented warplanes deliberately targeting homes with children inside, and directly targeting them in the streets, describing these actions as "war crimes." From Monday evening until Friday evening, the Israeli occupation army killed 31 Palestinian children in intense airstrikes targeting various locations in the Gaza Strip, which human rights organizations have identified as civilian targets.

قضى صاروخُ مقاتلةٍ حربيةٍ إسرائيلية على بهجة العيد عند عائلة الرنتيسي في رفح جنوبي قطاع غزة، بينما كانت تتجهز لاحتفالية عائلية صغيرة. فبحسب تقرير لـ"الأناضول"، تهيأت زوجات الإخوة من عائلة الرنتيسي عند الساعة الثامنة مساءً، للالتقاء في جلسة أول أيام عيد الفطر، الخميس الماضي، وأحضرن ما أعددنه من ضيافة العيد وحلوياته. لكنّ صاروخًا إسرائيليًا أطلقته طائرات جيش الاحتلال كان له رأي آخر، فسبق الزوجات إلى جلستهنّ وضرب منزلهن المكون من طابقين، في حي الجنينة برفح، تاركًا خلفه شهداء وجرحى من عائلة واحدة. وتسبب القصف الإسرائيلي باستشهاد أربعة من أفراد العائلة، هم: الأم سهام (55 عامًا)، والابن رائد (27 عامًا)، وزوجته شيماء، والحفيد إبراهيم (سبعة شهور)، فضلاً عن إصابة ما يزيد عن عشرة آخرين، معظمهم أطفال ما زالوا يتلقون العلاج. أم يوسف الرنتيسي توفى زوجها وأطفالها صغار صبرت وتحملت وعانت وربتهم حتى كبروا وزوجتهم ذكرانا واناثا، وأدت الأمانة كاملة وبالامس اصطفاها الله شهيدة بقصف منزلها فوق رأسها. من حقها ان تزاحم النبي في عند الجنة كونها صبرت على تربية الأيتام فما بالكم بعد تدمير بيتها فوق رأسها pic.twitter.com/vKitOpG93j — Abo marzoq zaqout 🇵🇸 (@mds123111) May 15, 2021 "انتهك الصاروخ الإسرائيلي حُرمة منزلنا، وأحال منزلنا إلى ركام، تطايرت معها الأجساد، وألعاب الأطفال، وملابسهم، وفراشهم"، تقول رائدة الرنتيسي ابنة الشهيدة سهام البالغة من العمر 45 عامًا. وتضيف رائدة: إن زوجات إخوتها كُنّ بصدد قضاء سهرة العيد، بعد أن حُرمن الخروج مع أطفالهن للتنزه، بسبب الأوضاع الأمنية الصعبة. وقالت: "كانت لحظات صعبة جدًا، تحوّل فيها كل شيء إلى رماد، وحلّت رائحة الموت والبارود، وتناثرت الألعاب، وتعالت الصرخات بفعل الفاجعة". وتتابع الرنتيسي: "لم أكن أتخيل أن يحصل ما حدث، فبرغم عدم استبعاد أن يستهدف الاحتلال أي منزل في غزة، إلا أن حجم الاكتظاظ السكاني في حيّنا منحنا شعورًا زائفًا بشيء من الأمان؛ فكيف يُقصف مكان كهذا؟". وقضى أحد الأطفال ولم يكمل الشهور السبعة، بينما يقبع البقية في المستشفيات، مضرجين بدماء وجراح وحروق في مختلف أنحاء الجسد. وناشدت رائدة العالم من أجل التحرك لوقف آلة الحرب الإسرائيلية، ولجمها عن ممارساتها الوحشية في قتل الشعب الفلسطيني والتنكيل به. ويتواصل العدوان الإسرائيلي على قطاع غزة، لليوم السادس على التوالي، حيث يشنّ الجيش الإسرائيلي غارات واسعة على جميع مناطق القطاع، وترد الفصائل الفلسطينية بإطلاق الصواريخ بكثافة على العديد من المدن داخل إسرائيل، ردًا على استهداف المدنيين. لكن وحشية سلطات الاحتلال تخطت كل الخطوط الحمراء، بحيث رصدت المراكز الحقوقية، أن المقاتلات الحربية تتعمد إسقاط المنازل على رؤوس الأطفال، بينما استهدفتهم بشكل مباشر في الشوارع، واصفة ذلك بـ"جرائم حرب". ومنذ مساء الإثنين حتى مساء الجمعة، قتل جيش الاحتلال الإسرائيلي، 31 طفلًا فلسطينيًا في غارات عنيفة شنتها طائراته الحربية على أهداف بمناطق مختلفة في قطاع غزة، قالت مؤسسات حقوقية إنها أهداف مدنية.

I seek refuge in God from Satan, the accursed. #And when the buried alive girl is asked for what sin she was killed#... And this infant, for what sin was he killed? Was he a terrorist? Did he possess a rocket launcher? His killers will be questioned before God for what sin he was killed... God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs... Israeli planes kill the infant Ibrahim al-Rantisi in Rafah...

I will recount a part of the stories of aggression... This body is that of seven-month-old Ibrahim al-Rantisi from Rafah. In the second part of the picture is his baby carrier, the one he was playing in when the house was bombed. *Ibrahim was playing with his siblings and cousins on the first day of Eid al-Fitr inside the house when a missile, without warning, destroyed the house and turned it to rubble.* An elderly woman, the mother of the homeowners, Siham al-Rantisi (55 years old), was killed, along with her son Raed (27 years old), his wife Shaimaa, and her grandson Ibrahim. More than ten others were injured, most of them children, some critically. This is the occupier and its ugly face.

Tel Aviv Station Among them 43 children and women Friday, May 14, 2021 - 1:21 AM The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Thursday evening that the death toll from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip had risen to 109 martyrs, including 28 children and 15 women, with 621 wounded, some in critical condition, since the start of the Israeli aggression on Monday evening.

The Qassam Martyr/ Raed Ibrahim Khamis Al-Rantisi: On the Path of Jihad, Life is Sweet Qassam - Special: How glorious are the abodes of the martyrs when they ascend upon the beloved soil of Palestine! How could it be otherwise when the price of sacrifice is life itself? Every day a martyr ascends, his soul circling the Al-Aqsa Mosque, offering his deeds purely for the sake of God. They are stars that shine brightly in the sky of the occupied homeland, illuminating the paths of victory for those who follow them with furrows they carved with their bare hands, through which the mujahideen may cross the road to liberation and traverse the occupied lands. Birth and Upbringing The martyr, Qassam fighter Raed Ibrahim Al-Rantisi, was born in the Shaboura camp in the city of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on February 13, 1992. His birth was easy for his mother, as her labor was smooth, and his arrival was a blessing for the entire family. Our martyr's childhood was peaceful, and he was loved by his peers. He was well-mannered and would immediately join in playing with children as if he had known them for a long time. He was sociable and loved helping others, and he was very curious and loved to know everything. When he got toys, he would take them apart. To explore what was inside, then reassemble it again. Our martyr was polite and dutiful to his parents, a role model in piety and good character. His father passed away when he was twelve years old, and despite his young age, he helped his father in the shop during his illness, staying close to his father, whom he loved dearly. After his father's death, he was a devoted son, always by his side, attending to his needs and eager to help. When he moved from Al-Shaboura to Al-Junaina neighborhood to settle down and get married in his apartment, he took his mother to live with him. He only agreed to marry after his mother agreed to live with him. May God have mercy on him, he was affectionate towards his brothers and sisters, always checking on them, especially his sisters. He often inquired about their well-being and visited them regularly. Out of his deep love for his older brother, he called him "Baba" (Dad) after the loss of his father. When his older sister lost her husband, he embraced her, her daughters, and her sons, constantly asking about them and attending to their needs. He visited his sisters frequently, and he would call those living in Gaza, telling them, "Our hearts ache when we miss you during our gatherings." He always inquired about his younger sister, who shared his experience of being an orphan, and he often visited her, buying gifts for her daughters. He would wake up early, call his nephews and nieces to play with them, take them on outings, and buy them sweets. Everyone—neighbors and relatives alike—looked upon the martyr Raed with respect. He never heard of a dispute without striving to reconcile the parties involved. Therefore, he earned everyone's love and respect. They described him as having a wisdom beyond his years, for he was wise and his insightful judgment never failed him. His Studies and Work Our martyr, Raed, enrolled in UNRWA schools and was an outstanding student. In the fourth grade, he suffered a fall from a height, fracturing his skull. Upon recovery, he returned to his studies with unwavering determination, defying his health condition and completing his education diligently. Raed was a role model for his classmates. Mothers in the neighborhood would advise their sons to emulate him, and when they had problems with their children, they would come to Raed to complain. He was kind, wise, and well-liked in his camp. No one ever complained about him during that time. He spent his early youth wisely and served as an example of a committed Muslim youth. As for his work, he served in the National Security Forces. He was among the best soldiers, known for his discipline, activity, discretion, and dedication to his duties. He was known for his obedience to his superiors' instructions. On the Egyptian border, he guarded against drug smuggling to protect his people. The Path of Da'wah The martyr Raed adopted the path of his older brothers, following in their footsteps on this arduous journey. He became a regular at the mosque and Quran memorization circles at the age of seven, and he dedicated himself to his sheikh at Al-Farouq Mosque. He was nurtured by a select group of leaders and founders at Al-Farouq Mosque, and he never shirked any activity or duty. He was always at the forefront, diligent and courageous. Our martyr was deeply influenced by the martyr Muhammad Al-Qadi, who was a close companion of Raed and his brothers. Muhammad Al-Qadi frequently visited Raed's family shop, which served as a nurturing environment for the camp's children. The martyrdom of Muhammad Al-Qadi became the primary motivation for Raed to follow in his footsteps, dedicating himself to the mosque. Afterward, he never hesitated to stay at the mosque, engaging in spiritual retreats, serving the worshippers, and participating in remembrance circles. He was a remarkably active member of the mosque's committees and activities. In the announcements committee, he distributed publications, designed flyers, and communicated activity schedules. In the sports committee, he accompanied the youth. He was a constant presence at the mosque, eager to attend and participate in activities, encouraging young people to engage in them. In the outreach committee, he was a driving force, attracting elders, organizing groups, and coordinating meetings. May God have mercy on him, he was a one-man army, tirelessly present in every arena. Our martyr joined the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, after becoming a regular at Al-Farouq Mosque. He worked within the ranks of Hamas, known for his lightheartedness, calm demeanor, and love for his brothers. After committing to the Fajr prayer and participating in mosque activities, he joined the movement, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood. He worked in the movement's public outreach department, promoting activities, events, and festivals. He was also involved with the mosque's scouting program and its sports activities. Our martyr worked in the movement's public relations department, advocating for activities, events, and festivals. He was active in the mosque's scouting program and its sports activities. Mujahid Qassami Our martyr, Raed, joined the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades after becoming involved in all activities at the al-Farouq Mosque. This mosque played a significant role in the emergence of a large number of martyrs, nearly one hundred, and its influence was evident in Raed's decision to become a mujahid. He insisted on joining the Brigades, repeatedly requesting to do so. Despite his young age, he joined the Qassam Brigades and served for approximately sixteen years. He began his service in 2008, working in the tunnels. His desire to serve intensified after the martyrdom of Muhammad al-Qadi in 2004, prompting him to continue on his path. Our martyr generously contributed his own money to support various projects and activities within the Brigades. He served in the Qassam Special Unit and as a personal security officer for a Qassam Battalion commander. He also participated in battalion-level training, as well as elite and special operations courses. Our martyr was extremely dedicated to guard duty and was among the most punctual young men, both during his initial service in the Brigades and later after joining the Special Unit and providing support. On the eastern border of Rafah, he worked to monitor the stationed fighters after being assigned to lead one of the groups. He worked in the field of preparation and training, training fellow mujahideen in combat preparation courses and in the vanguard of liberation. He also had the opportunity to train elite members of the Qassam Brigades. He participated with his brothers in manufacturing in the early 2010s, but he had to choose one field, so he joined the special unit of the Qassam Brigades. He also managed to recruit a number of mujahideen into the ranks of the Qassam Brigades. Raed was distinguished by his smile and cheerful spirit among his brothers. He would call his brothers at dawn prayer time. He was generous, offering himself, his time, his money, and his home for the sake of God, working on this with passion, love, and readiness. He was known for his boldness in combat, his courage, his ability to carry out missions, his chivalry, and his high morale. Our martyr participated in the 2014 Battle of Asif al-Ma'kul, where he was stationed on the front lines. He also participated in the 2012 war, where he provided security for some of the mujahideen brothers and participated with some of the brothers in artillery. With some tasks. His Martyrdom In his final days, our Qassam martyr, Raed, visited his relatives. He was always checking on his sisters and mother. On his last visit to his sister's house during Ramadan, his niece said to him, "Stay a little longer, Uncle, I haven't had enough of you." He replied, "This world is fleeting, Uncle. We'll have our fill of each other in Paradise." During a visit to his wife's family home during Ramadan, he playfully said to his wife, "I've had my fill of this world; I want to go to the houris." His wife replied, "I'll be right there with you." Indeed, his wife was martyred with him in the treacherous bombing. On May 13, 2021, his house was directly targeted by an F-16 missile without any warning or alert, and he was martyred along with his wife, mother, and young nephew. May God have mercy on him and grant him Paradise.

الشهيد القسامي/ رائد إبراهيم خميس الرنتيسي على درب الجهاد تحلو الحياة القسام - خاص:كم هي عظيمة منازل الشهداء حين يرتقوا على ثرى فلسطين الحبيبة، كيف لا وثمن التضحية هو النفس، ففي كل يوم يرتقي شهيد يطوف بروحه حول المسجد الأقصى ليرفع عمله خالصاً لله، فهم نجوم تتلألأ في سماء الوطن المحتل، ينيرون لمن بعدهم دروب النصر بأخاديد نقبوها بأظافرهم ليعبر خلالها المجاهدون طريق التحرير وجوس الديار المحتلة. الميلاد والنشأة ولد الشهيد القسامي رائد إبراهيم الرنتيسي في مخيم الشابورة بمدينة رفح جنوب قطاع غزة وذلك بتاريخ 13-2-1992م، وكان ميلاده يسيرا على والدته، فكان مخاضها هينا، وكان قدومه وجه سعد على العائلة بأكملها.وكانت طفولة شهيدنا هادئة، وكان محبوبا من أقرانه، حسن المعشر لا يلبث أن يرى الأطفال حتى ينخرط معهم باللعب، وكأنه يعرفهم منذ زمن بعيد، وكان اجتماعيا ويحب مساعدة الآخرين، وشديد الفضول يحب معرفة كل شيء، وكان عندما يحصل على ألعاب يفككها؛ ليستكشف ما بداخلها، ثم يعيد تركيبها مرة أخرى.وكان شهيدنا مؤدبا وبارا بوالديه، فكان مثالا يحتذى به في البر وحسن الخلق، توفي والده وعمره اثنا عشر عاما، وبالرغم من صغر سنه إلا أنه كان يساعد أباه في الدكان خلال فترة مرضه، ويلازم والده الذي أحبه بشكل ملفت، وبعد وفاة والده كان ابنا بارا بوالده، ملازما لها، قائما على خدمتها، متحمسا لحاجتها، وعندما انتقل من الشابورة إلى حي الجنينة ليستقر ويتزوج في شقته، اصطحب أمه للعيش معه، ولم يوافق على الزواج إلا بعد أن وافقت أمه على العيش معه.وكان _ رحمه الله_ حنونا على إخوته وأخواته، دائم التفقد لهم، وخصوصا أخواته، فكان كثيرا ما يسأل عن أحوالهن، ويزورهن دائما، وكان من شدة حبه لأخيه الكبير يناديه ب( بابا) بعد فقد والده. وعندما فقدت أخته الكبرى زوجها احتضنها وبناتها وأبنائها، وكان دائم السؤال عنهم، ويمشي في حاجتهم، وكان يزور أخواته بشكل ملفت، وكان يتصل بأخواته اللواتي يسكنّ في غزة، ويقول لهن: (قلوبنا تتقطع عليكن عندما نفتقدكن في الجلسات)وكان دائم السؤال عن أخته الصغرى التي شاركته اليتم، وكثيرا ما يزورها ويشتري الهدايا لبناتها، وكان يستيقظ باكرا، وينادي على أبناء إخوته؛ ليلاعبهم، ثم يصحبهم في نزهات ويشتري لهم الحلوى.وكان الجميع من جيران وأقارب ينظر للشهيد رائد نظرة احترام، وكان لا يسمع في خصام، إلا ويسعى للإصلاح بين المتخاصمين؛ لذلك كسب محبة واحترام الجميع له، وكانوا يصفونه بأن عقله أكبر من عمره؛ لأنه كان حكيما ونظرته للأمور لا تخيب. دراسته وعمله التحق شهيدنا القسامي رائد بمدارس وكالة غوث وتشغيل اللاجئين، ودرس فيها، وكان من الطلبة المميزين في تلك الفترة، وتعرض وهو في الصف الرابع لحادث سقوط من علو مما أدى إلى حدوث كسر في جمجمته، وما إن تعافى حتى عاد إلى مقاعد الدراسة بعزيمة من حديد، متحديا كل ظروفه الصحية، وأكمل دراسته، ولم يقصر فيها أبدا.وكان شهيدنا رائد قدوة حسنة لزملائه، فكانت أمهات الحي كلهن يوصين أبناءهن بالاقتداء برائد، وكنّ عندما يعانين من أبنائهن يأتين إلى رائد مشتكيات أبنائهن، فكان طيب الخلق، ناصحا لهم، وكان محبوبا في مخيمه، فلا يذكر أن أحدا اشتكاه في تلك الفترة، وبذلك يكون قد أمضى فتوته وأول شبابه بشكل حكيم، وكان مثالا للشباب المسلم الملتزم.وبالنسبة لعمل شهيدنا، فقد عمل في جهاز الأمن الوطني، وكان خير الجنود العاملين، وأكثرهم انضباطا ونشاطا وسرية، وحريصا على أداء المهام الموكلة إليه، وتميز بالسمع والطاعة للتعليمات الصادرة من رؤسائه، وعمل على الحدود المصرية، فكان يحرس تلك الحدود من تهريب المخدرات؛ ليحمي أبناء شعبه. ركب الدعوة اتخذ الشهيد رائد من سيرة إخوته الكبار منهجا، واتبعهم على طريق ذات الشوكة، فالتزم بالمسجد وحلقات التحفيظ وعمره سبع سنوات، والتزم مع شيخه في مسجد الفاروق، وتربى على يد نخبة من القادة والمؤسسين في مسجد الفاروق، وكان لا يتأخر عن أي نشاط أو واجب، بل تجده دائما في المقدمة مثابرا مقداما لا يتأخر.وتأثر شهيدنا بالشهيد (محمد القاضي) والذي كان ملازما للشهيد وإخوته، وكان دائم الجلوس في دكان عائلة رائد، والتي كانت الحاضنة التربوية لأبناء المخيم، فكان لاستشهاد الشهيد محمد القاضي الدافع الأول ليسير شهيدنا على دربه، ويتجه إلى المسجد ويلتزم فيه.وبعد ذلك لم يتوانَ شهيدنا عن المكوث في المسجد، والاعتكاف فيه وخدمة المصلين، والجلوس في حلقات الذكر.وكان شهيدنا عنصرا فعالا في لجان المسجد وأنشطته بشكل لافت وكبير، ففي لجنة الإعلان تراه يوزع

بجميع الأنشطة، وكان لهذا المسجد الفضل الكبير في خروج عدد كبير من الشهداء ما يقارب مئة شهيد، فكان له الأثر الواضح ليكون رائد مجاهدا، فأصر على إخوانه، وأعاد عليهم الطلب مرارا وتكرارا، ورغم صغر سنة إلا أنه التحق بالقسام وعمل فيه ما يقرب من الستة عشر عاما.وبداية التحاقه كانت عام 2008م، وكانت بداية عمله في الأنفاق، وزادت رغبته في العمل بعد استشهاد الشهيد محمد القاضي عام 2004م، فأصر على مواصلة طريقه، وكان شهيدنا يتبرع بماله الخاص لإنجاح بعض المشاريع والأنشطة في الكتائب، وعمل في الوحدة الخاصة للقسام، كما أنه عمل كضابط أمن خاص لقائد كتيبة قسامي، وكان أيضا يعمل في التدريب على مستوى الكتيبة، وكذلك في

Military fires missile at house, killing four, including 65-year-old woman and 6-month-old baby The persons killed: Siham Yusef Mahmoud a-Rantisi, 65 Her son and daughter-in-law Raed Ibrahim Khamis a-Rantisi, 29 Shaimaa Diab Muhammad a-Rantisi, 21 Her grandson Ibrahim Muhammad Ibrahim a-Rantisi, 6 months old 13 May 2021 20:00 a-Junainah neighborhood, Rafah Testimony of ‘Iz a-Din a-Rantisi, 24, who lost four family members in the incident: I now live in a rented apartment in al-Junainah neighborhood, after Israel bombed our house to smithereens. It was a three-story building with five apartments. The first and second floors had two apartments each, and my brothers lived in them with their families. I lived with my mother on the top floor. On Thursday, 13 May 2021, at around 8:00 P.M., I was in my apartment with my brother Muhammad. Suddenly, I heard a missile whistling. I felt a tremor and was thrown in the air. Muhammad, who was standing next to me, flew and fell on some debris. More rubble fell on him. I stayed put for a few minutes until the debris, glass and stones stopped falling. When I got to my feet, I saw our building was still standing, but the missile had gone through the ceiling and landed on the ground floor. I went down the stairs, which were covered in debris but were still standing. When I got to the ground floor, I saw my brother Yusef at the entrance to his apartment, covered in dust and smoke. I started shouting and calling for people to come save my family and get the wounded out from under the rubble. Some more people came. We looked behind the house to see if there was anyone wounded there. We searched with flashlights, because there was no electricity. I found Shaimaa, my brother Raed’s wife. She was dead. We pulled her out from under the rubble. We kept looking and found Aya, my brother Muhammad’s wife. The shock wave had blown her into the house of our neighbors, the al-Hamaydah family. She was wounded and was holding her six-month-old baby, Ibrahim Muhammad a-Rantisi. He was dead. We found my mother inside the apartment. She was dead, too. After looking for my brother Raed for two hours, we found him in the neighbors’ house. He was dead, too. He’d been blown about seven meters away from his apartment. We barely managed to save my brother Hamzah, who was under the rubble. We worked for more than two hours to remove the debris that had fallen on my sister-in-law Asmaa, 27, my brother Yusef’s wife. She was trapped under bits of rubble, lumps of concrete and concrete posts. She was moderately injured. The rest of the family, the children and women, had made it out of the building and weren’t hurt. Raed a-Rantisi was an operative with the Hamas military wing. It is not known whether he was the reason the military fired a missile at the house. Testimony given to Muhammad Sabah on 3 June 2021 We found my mother inside the apartment. She was dead, too. After looking for my brother Raed for two hours, we found him in the neighbors’ house. He was dead, too. He’d been blown about seven meters away from his apartment.
