Syrian Palestinian Faces Tragedy After Prison Release
Palestinian worker Ahmed Al-Siqili has returned to Gaza after a forced absence of nearly three years. His first encounter was with his wife and daughter, while his six children were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in Gaza City on December 8, 2023. Al-Siqili was working in Israel when the war broke out in October 2023, and the closure of border crossings prevented his return. He later moved to the West Bank, where he was arrested in July 2026 and held for fifteen days before being released and transferred back to Gaza. Upon his return, he found that his children had been killed in the bombing, with their bodies temporarily buried before being moved to a local cemetery. Photos and videos remain as haunting reminders of them. Al-Siqili expresses deep sorrow, questioning the guilt of his children who were dreaming and learning, and hopes that the war will cease so he can restore a normal life with his remaining family. According to sources, the Gaza war has resulted in the death of approximately 21,500 children and injured tens of thousands, amid ongoing Israeli military escalation since October 2023 and its devastating toll.
