If you're reading this, it means I was killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When all this began, I was just 21 years old—a college student with dreams like everyone else.

For the past eighteen months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on sidewalks, in schools, in tents—wherever I could. Every day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people.

By God, I did my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, finally, I have rested—something I haven't known for the past eighteen months. I did all this out of faith in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it was the greatest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: Don't stop talking about Gaza. Don't let the world turn its back on it. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.

For the last time, Hossam Shabat from northern Gaza.

“We extend our salute to our sincere brothers in Yemen for their honorable stance and unwavering support for the people of Gaza, despite the heavy sacrifices they are making for their loyalty to Al-Aqsa and Palestine.

Today, Yemeni missiles crossed paths with Gaza’s missiles in the skies over Tel Aviv, reaffirming that Gaza does not stand alone. Behind it are free men of the nation who refuse to abandon it to its arrogant enemies.

We call upon all free people of our nation to join the battle in defense of Al-Aqsa and to persist in supporting and backing Gaza. Together, we must break the strength of the criminal Zionist enemy and compel it to end its aggression.”
