"I left her 15 minutes before she was martyred," 19 year-old Mohammad Saed told Reuters, in the wrecked room of his fiancee's family's house where they had met a day earlier.
His fiancee, Dania Adas, also 19 and her sister Iman, 16, were both killed when Israeli jets hit the building next door where an alleged senior Islamic Jihad leader Khalil Al-Bahtini lived with his wife and daughter, all of whom were also killed. They confirmed that women and children were killed in the air strikes but said Israel tries to limit civilian casualties.
