Glory to the martyrs and those that love them 🇵🇸🇵🇸 pic.twitter.com/DrapFjA1u5
In his last post on social media, which tragically reads like a will, Ghaith requested not to be taken to the morgue because he hates feeling cold and to be buried among children so that he won't be lonely.

Confrontations erupted as hundreds of Israeli settlers escorted by Israeli occupation forces violently raided the tomb on Tuesday night.
The Israeli occupation forces along with Israeli settlers used excessive force against the Palestinians not to mention showering them with live bullets and vandalizing a number of vehicles, shops, and private property.
As a result, more than 41 Palestinians were injured by live bullets in the city of Nablus, according to the Palestinian Red Cross.
It is worth mentioning that the Palestinian Red Cross has also reported that even the emergency ambulance crews were directly attacked with gas bombs while transporting one of the injured.
The Israeli occupation has also arrested at least six Palestinians from Husan, Beit Kahil, and Qalqiliya throughout last night.
