Undercover bullets executed the child Omar Awadin and turned the life of his family into eternal suffering and pain

During his participation in performing Umrah with his family in the Hijaz lands, the young Omar Muhammad Awadin, 14 years old, asked his mother to pray for him near the Kaaba, and she supplicated: “The Lord of the Worlds grants you success, guides you, and gives you everything you wish.” He smiled and addressed her, saying: “And pray for me with martyrdom.” Martyred by a treacherous bullet from the special occupation units, about three weeks after his return for Umrah, which was a great shock to his family, especially his parents, as he was the only one after the tragic death of his daughter two and a half years ago.

Pictures and situations, recovered by the bereaved father, Muhammad Awadin, in his home in the city of Jenin , during his interview with Al-Quds.com, with the advent of the blessed month of Ramadan, in the absence of his lonely and beloved of his heart, his life, which sparked painful feelings of sadness and pain that increased since the beginning of the month, before his martyrdom. As his father tells Omar, he told him, “He started saving from his personal money, to prepare to buy some of the needs and supplies of Ramadan as he always used to, and to participate in providing beautiful and joyful decorations for our house, but their treacherous bullets, sentenced him to death, stole all our lives that Omar forms, and spoiled our joys.” Forever, no one will ever replace him."

The father, Awadin, resists his tears, sorrows, and great anguish, especially in the virtuous days that opened his wounds, and he said: “The atmosphere of Ramadan is different in our family’s lives today than last year, in the absence of our beloved and the pleasure of our liver, Omar. Omar is with us, preparing for Ramadan, preparing for decoration, and attending to provide a more beautiful atmosphere in Ramadan with us, as well as his companions and friends.


And he adds: "Despite his young age, he was always keen to perform religious rituals and perform Tarawih prayers in Ramadan, and he used to help his mother in preparing the Ramadan table, so we miss him and all the words of the world will not express the extent of the catastrophe and tragedy that befell our lives forever."

Awadin recalls the atmosphere of joy that befell his family when he was born with Omar, the firstborn of his family of 3 members, and he says: "When he saw the light, he lighted our lives and illuminated them, and he received great love and love, being our first and the first grandchild of his family who pampered him, and as he grew older, his status and love strengthened." Because of his morals, literature, and wide relations, he was known and distinguished among adults and children.


He added: "He studied at Hittin School in Jenin, excelled and loved studying. We always plan for his future and a successful and stable life. The values of loyalty, giving and work were instilled in him, and I made sure that he gradually learns my field of work at the center specialized in medical devices and aids in Jenin."


And he continues: "Despite his youth, he was always keen to memorize the Holy Qur'an, and he was kind to his parents, and he was keen to help me in all my fields of work and shouldering responsibility."

At every moment since his martyrdom, the pains of the parents increase again, after the great tragedy. Omar had a close relationship with them, and his father says: “Our relationship was distinguished, and I have always considered him a brother and friend in every sense of the word. aspects of his life, to guide him and direct him to the right and proper path.


And he adds, "Likewise, his mother, Reham, gave him all the tenderness and was always keen to take care of him and build his personality. Their relationship was very strong, and he was keen to help her and contact her before returning home, to ask her about her needs and provide them. He grew up prematurely, and we have always been proud of him."

Signs of sadness and pain are etched on the face of the father, Awadin, at the moment of recalling the memories of the day of his martyrdom, on Thursday 3/16/2023, during the crime of the special units that assassinated the resistance fighters Nidal Amin Al-Khazim and Youssef Shreem, and he says: “Before noon, I called Omar and asked to attend To help me distribute and deliver devices and equipment to some institutions in Jenin, after completing the task, he called me and informed me that he would return home, but I met him after that, and told him that I would go to our second branch.


He continues: "Between Omar's injury by undercover bullets and my conversation with him, one minute passed, I took my car and headed to our showroom, and I don't know why I called him back and he was riding his bike heading to our first showroom on Abu Bakr Street, especially when I heard the sound of gunfire, as if I felt that something was hated He'll get it."

At this time, the undercover units infiltrated the area in civilian clothes using a vehicle with a Palestinian license plate, and suddenly the heavily armed undercover soldiers appeared and fired at the resistance fighter Nidal al-Khazim while he was riding his motorcycle. The fighter Shreim, and they managed to assassinate him, and when the people of Jenin discovered the crime, confrontations erupted and the angry masses started attacking them, so they fired madly.

Awadin says: "All of this happened quickly, and three minutes after the last call with my son, I learned of the crime of the Special Units, and because the site was close to my exhibition, I felt worried about Omar, and I rushed to contact him, and when he did not answer, I called his uncle, as I had an internal fear that made me I feel terrified and terrified."


And he adds, "Soon, my brother informed me that Omar had been wounded by undercover bullets that rained down on passers-by in the streets, hitting my innocent child who did not commit anything, was not armed and did not even carry a stone, because he is a peaceful child, he learns in his school and he has ambitions and dreams."


And he continues: “When the news reached me, I felt a setback and entered a great maze, and I lost control of myself and did not know what I would do from the horror of the shock that I never expected, but we always say the judgment to the Lord of the Worlds in our affliction, and God will be patient with us, and he has gardens of bliss, God willing.”

When he saw his child lying next to the three martyrs who had been assassinated by the Westernized Units, the father, Awadin, stood in a state of shock that he lost the ability to speak when he discovered that he had passed away as a martyr.


And he adds: "Omar's features appeared as if he was sleeping innocently, and the shock was repeated, and I lived through the most difficult situation in my life, when we gave the last farewell look, I remembered his attitudes, laughter, wishes and dreams as a child who loved life, but the occupation bullets killed his dreams and everything beautiful that Omar loved, but if he wills it will come true." His wishes and we meet him in the gardens of bliss.


And he continues: "Omar, despite his youth, always participated in the funeral processions for the martyrs, and was keen to follow the communication networks to know the news and events of Jenin, and many times, he asked us to pray for his martyrdom, so the Lord of the Worlds honored her with it."


And he continues: "The world must stop remaining silent and prosecute the occupation for its crimes against our people, which do not distinguish between an old man, a young man, a woman, and his child. We consider him a martyr, like all the heroes of Palestine, and we ask God for patience, we and all families, because in every home there is a martyr, wounded, and prisoner, worship Their sacrifices are our way towards freedom and liberation from the occupation."
