The occupation forces committed a massacre against an entire family in the town of Tammun, Palestine at dawn on Sunday, 15/3/2026, where four members of one family were killed: a father, a mother, and their two children. Sources indicated that the Jewish occupation forces initially prevented ambulance crews from reaching the targeted vehicle, before handing over two other children who were inside the vehicle and were not injured. One of them later recounted, in an audio recording circulated by activists, the details of the horrific moments in which he hid while watching his father, mother, and siblings breathe their last. The child, Khaled Ali Bani Odeh, the eldest among his siblings and a sixth-grade student, narrates the details of the massacre committed by the occupation against his family. Khaled says that the family was on their way back from Nablus after buying Eid clothes, when the car suddenly came under heavy and direct gunfire. He added: “A soldier pulled me out of the car and began beating me, then they took my brother Mustafa out and tried to beat him. When I stood in front of him, they knocked me to the ground and beat me with their boots on my back.” The child added that one of the soldiers said after the shooting: “We killed dogs,” noting that his father was breathing his last, while his mother screamed before silence fell.

This family had gone out to buy Eid clothes for their children in an attempt to bring joy to their hearts, but the father, mother, and two children returned in shrouds instead of Eid outfits. The two surviving children returned with pain, sorrow, grief, and the bitterness of loss, carrying a painful memory that will never be erased, instead of the happy memory their parents had hoped to create. This massacre reflects the extent of the brutality and savagery, and the thirst for bloodshed, as well as the deep hatred and enmity they carry toward the people of the Blessed Land. They show no regard for kinship or covenant, and make no distinction between a child, a woman, or an elderly person. Moreover, they boast about their crime, as one of the soldiers said after the massacre, “We killed dogs!”

Eid has turned into a tragedy for this family, reflecting the condition of the people of the Blessed Land. The people of Gaza continue to suffer from the brutal war of genocide waged against them. Although the intensity of the bombardment has lessened, it has not stopped. People still sleep in the streets and live in worn-out tents, while the specter of hunger and lack of medicine looms over them. They remain under siege, while deceit and aggression surround them under Trump’s plan and the so-called “war council,” falsely named a “peace council.” Plans for their displacement continue to be plotted.

The situation is no better in the West Bank, which is suffocated by gates and checkpoints that fragment its lands. Demolitions of homes and facilities continue, with many families losing their homes and sources of livelihood. Settlers continue their rampage, killing, burning homes, crops, and property. Lands are seized and bulldozed to build settlements in attempts to displace the population. Nor are these actions far from the people of the Quds, compounded by the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque and criminal plans being devised against it, exploiting the war on Iran and a state of emergency that seems to apply only to Al-Aqsa and the Old City of al- Quds.

O Muslims:

This entity has escalated its crimes and brutality against the people of the Blessed Land and against Al-Aqsa Mosque because it has not seen from you a serious and effective movement to uproot it, to support the people of the Blessed Land and to liberate the place of the Prophet’s (saw) Masra. It has not heard from the Ummah and its armies the call of “Here we are, O sister,” nor “You are supported, O our people.” It has not seen the marching crowds proclaiming takbeer and mobilization for jihad as your predecessors once did. It has not seen a leader among the Ummah who says: “How can I smile and live in comfort while Al-Aqsa Mosque is captive?” Nor has it seen the Ummah rise to liberate the prisoners despite the injustice and brutality they endure.

O Our Brothers, and we direct our call especially to the armies of the Muslims: rescue us. We seek your support and call upon your sense of honor and protectiveness for the Deen, the sanctities, and the honor of the people. Save us, and save yourselves from the anger of Allah and His punishment. O Allah, we have conveyed, O Allah bear witness. O Allah, grant us relief and support us with helpers like the supporters of the Messenger of Allah (saw), by whom the Deen is honored and the vulnerable are supported.
