Name: Salah Mousa Ibrahim Hejazi
Date of Birth: 8 January 2001
Date of Injury: 30 July 2014
Thirteen-year-old Salah from Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip had a tough childhood. He left school at the age of ten to work in a car repair shop to learn how to be a mechanic. He went to work every morning, and the owner of the shop was said to be very nice to him. After coming back home, he would kiss his mother's hand and joke with her.
On 30 July 2014, after Salah and his brothers had left to visit their grandfather at his house, their mother heard the sound of a nearby explosion. “I headed to their grandfather's house and I found it on fire. I started to look for my sons, but I could not find Salah. I thought that he had left the house before the bombardment took place. I went to the hospital and there I was told that Salah was killed. That was a tremendous shock for me. I had a farewell look at him; he looked like he was asleep,” said his mother.
