Thirteen-year-old Manar from Gaza City was a prudent, kind, shy, organized and polite girl. She was an excellent student at school. She liked drawing and she liked singing. During the Eid holiday she was said to have been one of the most distinguished looking children.  

“She used to play with her cousin Nadeen who was her best friend. They used to study together because they were in the same class,” said her aunt.

Manar was killed along with her whole family when an Israeli missile targeted their house without warning. No one in the home survived.
