'Israel killed 18 of my children, but they won't break us': Palestinian Mother
Speaking with Al Mayadeen from Khan Younis in Gaza, this Palestinian mother radiates strength and unwavering resilience as she responds to questions from our correspondent. She draws a poignant comparison between Palestine and spearmint, a symbol for the land, illustrating that no matter how many people the Israeli occupation kills in Palestine, it cannot eradicate them all. Like spearmint, Palestinians will always sprout anew. When asked about her losses, she revealed that she has lost 250 family members, including 18 of her own children. Despite such profound personal tragedy, she resolutely affirmed her readiness to sacrifice more, emphasizing that "Israel" will never break the spirit of the Palestinians. In response to the assertion that "Israel" aims to break Palestinian resolve, she defiantly declared, "They can't break us."
