A Daily Memorial
A tribute to the hundreds of Palestinian martyrs of November 19th
Today, we give a moment of reflection for the Palestinians who were killed on this day, Nov 19, throughout the years — particularly those who were killed in the Gaza genocide. Since October 7, 2023, the cumulative death toll reported and confirmed by the Palestinian Ministry of Health from Israel’s assault on Gaza has reached 69,513 Palestinians. On November 19 alone across the years documented, 757 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, with 700 of those deaths recorded on this single day in 2023 during the current genocide.
But the erasure of Palestinians isn’t contained to the killing fields of Gaza. On November 19, 2012, Israeli forces killed three young children from the Hijazi family when their house in Jabalya Refugee Camp was bombed. Fouad Khalil Ibrahim Hijazi, 46, died alongside his sons Muhammad, 4, and Suhaib, just 2 years old. That same day, the Abu Zur family tragedy unfolded in Gaza City when Israeli forces bombed a nearby house. As the family fled their damaged home, three civilians were killed: sisters Nasmah Helmi Salem Abu Zur and Sahar Fadi As’ad Abu Zur, both 20 years old, and 3-year-old Muhammad Iyad Fouad Abu Zur. The killings in Gaza were intense in 2012.
On November 19, 2024, 18-year-old Firas Muhammad Fathi Jasser was shot by Israeli soldiers and Border Police after leaving his house in Jenin to provide first aid to a wounded Palestinian. Both Firas and the injured man died from their wounds.
But Palestinians aren’t simply passive actors waiting to be erased. Many have engaged in armed resistance against their oppressor and the broader system of imperialism. On November 19, 2024, Suliman Tazaz’ah (32), Anwar Saba’anah (25), and Raed Hanaysheh (24) were killed in Qabatiyah during a firefight with Israeli undercover forces. The Israeli military destroyed parts of the house where they had taken position, using missiles and fragmentation grenades.
