Dr. Hamdi Al-Najjar, husband of Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar, was martyred after succumbing to injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in southern Khan Younis.
With his passing, Dr. Al-Najjar joins his nine children who were killed before him in earlier attacks during Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza.
His martyrdom is yet another tragic chapter in the systematic targeting of Palestinian families, including medical and academic professionals, as the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza deepens under continued bombardment and global silence.
Dr. Al-Najjar dies not only as a father but as a symbol of unendurable loss — a man who buried all his children before meeting the same fate.
