16-year-old Hussein Yaser Mahmoud Abu Saqer from Khan Younis was a smart boy who was doing well at school. He got along very well with his teachers. He went to the mosque to pray and was trying to memorize the Quran. He also liked to play football. “After completing high school, he hoped to study medicine in Germany,” said his father.
On 28 July 2014, during the Eid holiday, Hussein and his father went to the mosque to pray. As they were leaving, they and a group of people were hit by a missile fired by an Israeli drone. Hussein died instantly, in front of his father, having sustained a shrapnel wound to the heart. “Shortly before his death he wrote a poem called, ‘For sure I’ll die soon,’ and posted it on his Facebook page,” his father added.
