Post by family member: We are the twins Rakan and Ilan, the sons of the martyr journalist Hisham Al-Nawagha. When our father was martyred we were two and a half years old and now we are 3 and a half years, we spent our childhood a war year, we knew what it meant to lose a father and support, we knew what a rocket meant! A shell! Sadness! A tent! Moving out! Charity! The house is standing! Empty! Reconciliation ! Expensive! Every day, we wake up to the sound of rockets and shells, and our mother hugs us and cries, fearing that she will lose us just like we lost our father... Do you know what it means when I'm playing and suddenly my mom screams at me to sleep on the floor because flying bullets are above us... We lost our toys that we love and what toys we buy, we miss our friends who traveled and some of them martyred, we miss sleeping in daddy's arms, annoying him, holding daddy's hands, running in the park, going to the park, flying balloons, going to the restaurant and the sea, daddy's absence broke us, but mom will make up for everything with his absence.
