A 20-year-old Ahmadi Muslim Palestinian was martyred in an Israeli drone strike on Gaza, His Holiness Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad announced in his Friday Sermon today.
While searching for food with two of his friends, Muhannad Muayyad Abu Awad came across the dead body of a friend which was being devoured by dogs.
At this, they felt extremely pained and forgot their actual purpose of finding food and carried the body to an ambulance so that it could be taken to a safe place and buried.
They then heard the screams of an injured woman and her daughter who were calling for help.
As they were taking one of them to the ambulance, an Israeli missile hit and killed them all, except one friend who narrated this heartbreaking account.
Another friend who later went to collect their bodies was also martyred.
Muhannad was a humble and devoted individual who lived near Khan Younis and volunteered for Humanity First which praised him as an excellent worker.
He and his family joined the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in 2009.
