The four children are Yamen (8 years old), the twins Kenan and Orchid (6 years old) and Carmel (3 years old). They were all martyred in the Al-Satar Al-Sharqi area in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip.

Their mother, who was not with them, says that she remained 44 days unaware of their fate after the occupation army entered their house and arrested their father. She adds that all her appeals to humanitarian organizations such as the Red Cross, Red Crescent, and the United Nations were of no use.
