The Palestinian novelist and poet Heba Abu Nada was fond of science, culture, and literature, filling all her time with its various details, until she joined the ranks of the martyrs in the Gaza Strip, which has included tens of thousands since the outbreak of the last war on the Strip.
The young woman, Heba, was martyred on the twentieth of last October, by a missile fired by an Israeli occupation plane that targeted a house in the southern Gaza Strip, to which the martyr Heba had fled with her family from Gaza City after the area in which they were living became tight.
Abu Nada was a poet, blogger, and writer. She obtained several university degrees in biochemistry and educational rehabilitation, and also attended a semester in interior design.
Heba wrote a novel entitled: “Oxygen is not for the dead.” This novel won second place in the Sharjah Cultural Competition. She also wrote 3 collections of poetry.
A few hours before her martyrdom, Heba wrote on her Facebook page, “We are in Gaza with God, between a martyr and a witness to the liberation, and we are all waiting where we will be. We are all waiting. Oh God, your promise is true.”
While Muslims around the world look forward to the last ten days of Ramadan, Gazans are anticipating the end of the Israeli war, which has been going on for about 174 days and claimed the lives of more than 32,000 martyrs, in addition to about 75,000 wounded.
