My friend Al-Hassan, a Liverpool fan who dreamed big, killed in Gaza

Al-Hassan Mattar, 21, was at home in Deir el-Balah when an Israeli air raid struck last week.

Last week, an Israeli air raid levelled a family home in Deir el-Balah, a central town in Gaza.

It belonged to the Mattars.

Al-Hassan Mattar, a 21-year-old studying English literature, was killed, along with his father, 12-year-old sister, grandmother and several relatives who were seeking shelter with them.

Video footage of the aftermath shows the home in ruins. In a widely shared 16-second clip, a young Palestinian man can be seen carrying Tala’s body out of the rubble.

The town has come under repeated attacks throughout the war. It was hit again late on Monday, with casualties reported.
