Manal Sulaiman Badr a teacher in the besieged enclave of Gaza beloved by her students as a compassionate mother aimed to achieve a bright future for them as her own five children.
Her colleagues commended her highly saying “Manal is a dedicated and giving teacher and she is kind-hearted.” One of them elaborated saying “She is one of the most sincere people I have ever dealt with in my life.”
She added that Manal “memorized the Quran and everyone loved her. I always felt that this world didn’t deserve her and that is why martyrdom suits her.”
Her colleague continued “Manal was very ambitious. Despite having five children in her life she always tried to develop herself. For example in her free time at school she would learn English or summarize seminars and lectures written by scholars.”
At the end of last October the abhorrent Israeli occupation hating righteous and reformist women like Manal targeted her modest house with the most powerful weapons and she was martyred along with three of her children leaving behind two others to remember her and walk in the footsteps of this noble mother.
It should be noted that “They are not numbers” is a series that highlights some of the stories of Palestinian martyrs in the Israeli aggression. Every day a new brief biography is presented about one of those martyrs.
Since October 7th the Israeli occupation forces have been carrying out a genocide in the Gaza Strip through air land and sea resulting in over 40000 casualties including martyrs missing persons and injured Palestinians as a form of revenge against Palestinian civilians.
