Yazuri's family fled to Khan Yunis.
On 3 Nov 1956, Israeli tanks entered Khan Yunis to "eradicate" Palestinian militant resistance.

So, on 3 November 1956, when Israeli forces entered Khan Yunis, they rounded up all men 15+, lined them against a wall & executed them.
Yazuri was 15 years old at the time. He survived the massacre.

Then, during the same 1956 operation in which Israeli forces slaughtered hundreds of men in Khan Yunis, they also executed people in the beach refugee camp, where Yassin lived.

Violence breeds violence. In the past month, 1.7M Palestinians in Gaza have been forcibly uprooted. Many r dehydrating in real time. ICU patients are dying in real time b/c no electricity. Babies born pre-maturely are dying in real time. 11,000+ Palestinians have been slaughtered
If history teaches us anything, it's Israel is in the process of destroying itself, ensuring it will have more enemies in the future than it ever had in the past. Israel, for your own sake, stop the killing. stop the genocide. stop this total madness and insanity.
