Sixteen-year-old Dina from Dowar Heidar in Gaza City was described as an energetic, active, joyful, positive, and humorous young girl. She was looking forward to her future and she loved drawing. She was in eleventh class. She was the only child in her family for long time so she was very spoiled. Later she had five brothers and she was still spoiled. She was her mother's friend and used to help her around the house.
“It was a hard time, full of fear and anxiety. The radio was always turned on; she was sitting with her mother drinking coffee when a drone targeted them inside their house. Both were killed instantly,” said her father.
“The younger children miss her after her death. When she got angry or sad, I used to bring her a rose, chocolate, and tell her sweet words. I bought her a present on her birthday,” her father added.
