Maryam Abdel Salam Deeb and Abdullah Ibrahim Abu Nahl were killed by an Israeli air strike, turning them into torn and scattered pieces. The bride's mother did not stop repeating, "God suffices me for the occupation," as she held pieces of her daughter Maryam's mobile phone that she found among the rubble.
The Israeli air strikes created a deep hole in the ground, complicating the task of civil defense teams in recovering the bodies of 17 martyrs, including the bride and groom.
