A screenshot of the last Facebook post written by Riham Al-Kolak, who days later became one of Israel's victims in Gaza, as an Israeli bomb targetted her house, killing her and her whole family. Thousands of Facebook users reacted to her last posts, with many praying for her and her family. All people fear death, yet this fear turns to terror when you are waiting for it. More than 2 million Palestinian citizens lived a state of terror in the besieged Gaza Strip since May 10, when Israeli forces began raining the enclave with continuous bombing for 11 days, until a ceasefire came into effect. The heavy bombing left Palestinians in Gaza waiting for death in their homes, expecting to be turned into corpses beneath rubble at any minute, by yet another missile. At least 248 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza throughout the Israeli assault, including 66 children and 9 women. Meanwhile, the shells fired by Hamas Movement which governs Gaza, killed 12 Israelis. While the Israeli Iron Dome intercepts most of Hamas’ thousands of rockets, and Israelis can take shield in shelters from Hamas’ fire, Palestinians in Gaza are unprotected, without any shelter from death and terror. This is what Banyas Jawad felt in Gaza on 16 May when she wrote the following post on Twitter: حاساها اخر ليلة. والله اخر ليلة شكلها النا — Banyas Jawad (@BanyasJ) May 15, 2021 I feel this is the last night. By Allah, it seem like its our last night The Israeli bombing of Gaza came in response to rockets fired by Hamas towards occupied Jerusalem, after Israeli forces and settlers ignored a deadline Hamas gave for them to withdraw from the area of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Muslim's holy site, and Al Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, which have witnessed violence for weeks. Israeli forces have used rubber and live bullets in both sites against Palestinian demonstrators who rose to protest eviction orders made against Palestinians to leave their homes, resulting in the injury of hundreds. These events have evolved since the beginning of Ramadan in mid April, resulting in what became known as Damascus Gate Attack. As Israeli bombs fell, causing destruction and death, people of Gaza tweeted to the world about their pain.

Remember that we are not numbers Meanwhile, Marah Elwadia, a journalist residing in Gaza, recalled her experience in the 2014 war on Gaza which lasted for 7 weeks and left more than 2.200 Palestinian dead, most of whom were civilians. She compared it to the current war, now that she's a mother. بحرب عام ٢٠١٤ كنت بين أهلي ومش متحملة، اليوم أنا أم. بفكر في إبني اللي معي، وبفكر في زوجي اللي بيشتغل بالميدان، وبفكر بأهلي اللي تحاصروا الليلة في بيتهم والسما كانت تمطر صواريخ وقذائف https://t.co/3ZSk8bY0J0 — Marah M. Elwadia (@MarahWadia) May 14, 2021 In 2014 war, I was among my family and couldn't bear [what was happening]. Today, I'm a mother and thinking of my son who is with me, and husband who is working on the ground, and my family who were besieged last night in their home, while the sky was raining rockets and missiles. Nour, another Gazan citizen, wrote on Twitter: أصعب تجربة ممكن يمر فيها إنسان على وجه الأرض هي إنه يكون أب أو أم في وقت الحرب. شعور العجز التام أمام خوف طفلك، وعدم قدرتك على توفير الأمن إله شيء أصعب من الوصف.#GazaUnderAttack — Nour Gaza (@NourGaza) May 13, 2021 The most difficult experience in this life is to be a father or mother in a time of war. It's the feeling of utter powerlessness before your kid's fear. Your disability to make him feel safe is more difficult than any words can describe. Meanwhile, on 15 May, Riham Al-Kolak wrote on her Facebook page, “Oh God, please have mercy on us, we can't bear this”. The following day, Reham wrote her last post: “Oh Allah keep us safe”, which was shared over 8,300 times, after she and her whole family were killed in an Israeli airstrike. This state of terror isn't limited only to those who are living in Gaza nowadays, but is felt by every Palestinian even if abroad, especially Gazan people who are away. Said Yacoubi, a doctor from Gaza who lives in the United Kingdom, posted on 18 May on Facebook: “My dad sitting on the rubbles in front of our damaged house in Gaza following the night when 10 of our neighbours were murdered by Israeli terrorist army (2 women and 8 children).
