Details of the life of the martyr photographer Hassan Aslih had not seen before policy

Gaza- He was turning the camera in his hands as someone carrying a treasure that was excluded from his keys, revolving among the photographers in their spare time when he was among them a volunteer in the corridors of the Jerusalem channel, asking about its buttons, and contemplating it with two eyes in which the spark of the dream was given, it was not a good deaf young man at the beginning From learning.

Al -Jazeera Net, Darwish Bulbul, the former director of photographers in the Al -Quds Channel, who had a 15 -year -old memory, returned when Hassan Alam, a degree of photography, rose from an assistant with a lens for the first time, to a professional photographer, who is choosing to shoot the most complex and most influential moments.

Smart photographer

Hassan took it upon him to be a shadow of the marginalized and fragile classes, he communicates their voice and focuses on transferring their stories, which made him close to them, and about that, Darwish says, “It was not a good transient in his presence or in his impact, he had remarkable acceptance, to the point that we would have said to him if he ran for the presidency, I would have won without a competitor.”

Darwish believes that what helped Hassan during his work is his social intelligence, and his construction of relations with officials and decision -makers he was meeting, which strengthened his sources that he later adopted in the steps of his practical career.

After 5 years, Hassan spent on the Jerusalem channel, during which he expressed the first threshold in his dream of confidence, after which he began his free work, during which he jumped in wide steps towards the summit, where he made a name for himself on social media platforms, and became a reliable media source for millions of subscribers in his channels and platforms.

Later, Hassan launched his “Alam 24” news agency, and worked with a number of foreign and Arab international media institutions in conjunction with this.

Although Hassan was born and lived in a city Khan Yunis south Gaza StripAnd all the corners of the sector were its field, moving between its parts from the far south to the far north in one day, so every time he was the first photographer to storm with his tire of coverage, between people and with them, to pursue the news and the image wherever it is.

There are no obstacles in front of him

A friend of Hassan, who is close to the journalist Ashraf Abu Umrah, reveals to Al -Jazeera Net that Hassan was suffering from a rare disease called the Mediterranean fever, as he was going through bouts of fever, physical pain and rash without a treatment for him inside the sector, but he resisted him and set out to the field in the first moments of his recovery without surrendering to him.

“He was not satisfied with a disease and did not stop a threat,” says Ashraf, describing the solidity of his friend, and continues, “The threat was a continuous continuous, as special pages were created to incite him, and media campaigns were organized to attack him since the first day of the war.”

Al -Jazeera Net asked him about how Hassan dealt with these threats, and he replied, “Hassan used to tell us: If my accusation is that I am sure the suffering of the ground people in Gaza, let me kill me while I am at the head of my work, I will not give them their intention and I will not stop covering.”

The attempts to silence the sound and withholding the image that Hassan was preceded did not stop, as his platforms were deleted on the communication sites more than 15 times, and despite the participation of millions of followers in it, the “warrior Hassan” as his friend describes him did not know despair, and he was returning again every time.

“The Telegram channel for the good source was a first source for the Palestinians, who always said: If the good news did not publish, the news is not sure,” Ashraf says.

Ashraf concludes his speech to Al -Jazeera Net with a targeted voice.

Hanging to his family

Hassan survived the first attempts to target him on the seventh of last April, when the tent of journalists was bombed in front of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, in which a number of journalists were martyred and burned, while he was injured with other colleagues.

While Hassan was receiving his treatment on the bed of Nasser Hospital, the occupation did not give any consideration of time or place, as he was subjected to a missile in his room in the hospital in May to be martyred immediately.

He stayed among the targeting 35 days, in which his wife saw Alaa, allowing the opportunity to sit with her husband, whom the war deprived her of seeing only through lightning meetings for a few minutes.

“My husband was afraid to target while he was with us, so we would meet quickly in public places for several minutes, in which we were trying to extinguish the longing, and I was full of hugs of his children, the wills and needs, until he was wounded, so I started hesitating him daily to touch his needs and check on him,” Alaa says.

14 years ago, Alaa began her story with Hassan, as a simple young young man, who had a modest job and a great heart, and insisting on making a different life, during which he did not accept that his wife remain without a university degree, so he insisted that she complete her education despite the simplicity of the situation.

They gave birth to 4 children, the largest of them Abdel Fattah and 3 girls are Mona, Iman and Mila.

After years of work, Hassan decided to build a house that can accommodate his family, and for two years, he began to establish a stone stone, until the house became a reality on the ground, days before the war and his wife choosing furniture, and planning to move, but the Israeli missiles did not give them to live in one moment.

War days

“It seems that it will be a long and harsh war,” Hassan told his wife on the morning of October 20, 2023, when he was collecting his equipment and preparing to leave the house, she did not know that she and her sons spent the last night in his confines, and that this is her last reign with him, so that Alaa only begins the trips of repeated displacement without him.

“Fire was set in my chest every night of the first war, especially at a time when the communications were cut off, so I did not know whether it is alive or among the martyrs,” but his messages that were surprised by them from every time and another were pumping life into its arteries, according to their description.

Hassan asked his wife to bring his middle daughter Iman before she came to him, as she was accompanying his children to him in the hospital alternately, Alaa says about the details of their last meeting, “His daughter sat in his lap and kept contemplating and kissing her, he was farewell silent and surplus love that is not explained, I never expected that the latter be.”

During Alaa’s sitting with her husband, he paid all his debts, guaranteed a number of orphans, briefed her on new details, and recommended her a lot, saying, “I do not know how he missed me that he bid me farewell, then I gave him two shirts that we wore, and I did not know that he would be in Paradise in it.”

When Alaa was concerned with leaving, she stood at the door of the room as if something heavy was shaking her feet and preventing her from step, she turned to him and asked her, “What is wrong with you?” I replied, “When I leave from here, I feel that my soul is sniffing from me, I do not know comfort or tranquility while I am far from you.”

Alaa concludes her speech to Al -Jazeera Net by saying, “What was more and me after the martyrdom of Hassan, was not the patience alone, but that sweeping love that overwhelmed me with people, their love for him surprised me, and made me feel that I do not live only by describing his wife, but the wife of a great man who left an unforgettable impact on everyone’s hearts.”

Hassan left at the age of 38, in which he carried the concerns of his people on his shoulders, and he faced the Israeli killing machine with a word, image, and right that does not go away, Israel thought that with its salvation from him he was silent, but what did not realize it was that Hassan was not an individual, but was the beginning of a full army of journalists who learned from him, and who would complete the road after him as they say.
