A Palestinian woman from the northern Strip who lost four of her children throughout the bombardment, and whose husband is missing, said she will still not leave Gaza nor go to the south of the Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

“For the sake of Allah, Netanyahu, I will not go to the southern Gaza Strip. This is my land, I will not leave, and we will take our right from Netanyahu and Israel,” she said, addressing the Israeli prime minister.

She spoke from the Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, where Israeli shelling today killed at least 17 people who had gathered for the noon prayer at a prayer hall.

“I am the mother of four martyrs, and I have no son left, and I am proud of them, thank God, and we tell Netanyahu that we are ready to sacrifice [ourselves],” the woman also said.

“Allah promised us victory, and our victory is near,” she concluded.
