An Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on Friday killed the eldest daughter and the infant grandson of the prominent Palestinian poet and past Democracy Now! guest Refaat Alareer, who himself was killed in an Israeli airstrike in December. Shaima Refaat Alareer was killed along with her husband and 2-month-old son while sheltering in the building of international relief charity Global Communities. Shaima had recently lamented on Facebook that her father never got to meet his grandson, writing, "I never imagined that I would lose you early even before you see him." "Why is the state of Israel and its military targeting the families and relatives of those it has already assassinated and murdered?" asks Jehad Abusalim, a scholar, policy analyst and friend of Refaat Alareer and his family. "Israel seeks to eradicate, to destroy the social environment that fosters resistance and defiance. This environment produced figures like Refaat."
