‘Soul of my soul’: Israeli shelling kills Gaza grandfather who moved world
Al JazeeraAdvocates pay tribute to Khaled Nabhan, Palestinian grandfather who became known for his grief, charity and defiance. Israeli shelling in Gaza has killed Khaled Nabhan, a Palestinian man who became widely known after a video showed him kissing the eyes of his slain granddaughter and calling her “soul of my soul” last year. Nabhan, who was known as “Abu Diaa”, was killed early on Monday in an Israeli bombardment targeting the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, local sources have confirmed. “For our grandfather Khaled and the soul of his soul Reem … Vote ‘uncommitted’ on the Democratic presidential primary ballot,” Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said at that time. Days before the killing of Nabhan in Nuseirat, Israeli air strikes killed dozens of people in the central Gaza refugee camp – attacks described by local authorities as a “barbaric and heinous massacre”.
