Dearborn, October 8 (RHC)-- In the U.S. city of Dearborn, Michigan, thousands of mourners gathered at the Islamic Center of America to remember Hajj Kamel Ahmad Jawad, a 56-year-old husband, father of four and Lebanese American who was killed by an Israeli airstrike on his hometown of Nabatieh, Lebanon, one week ago. 

Jawad’s family says he’d chosen to remain near the city’s main hospital to help the elderly, disabled and those who couldn’t afford to flee Israel’s bombs. 

In a statement, his daughter Nadine Jawad wrote: “His life is one of over 50,000 lost at the hands of Israeli aggression across the Middle East.  The fact that he was an American citizen should not make his story more important than others.  As Muslims, we believe that every life matters.  If my dad’s story stands out to you, every other civilian murdered by the Israeli regime should as well.”
