An elderly Palestinian woman, who had gone viral for saying that she was “older than Israel” in a video circulating online, was killed by an Israeli sniper.
Palestinian photographer Saleh Aljafarawi announced the death of Hadiya Nassar on Thursday.

“You were martyred, my beloved. May God have mercy on you and make your resting place Paradise,” Aljafarawi wrote on the social media platform X.
Al-Jazeera mentioned Aljafarawi as saying that he learned from his cousin that “members of the Israeli army sniped at (Nassar) at the door of her house”.
Nassar became a popular figure after appearing in a video posted by Aljafarawi, who visited her while at the hospital as she was recovering after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike.
This grandmother is Hadia Nassar. She was born in 1944 and lived through the Nakba of 1948. In October this video of her went viral and she was injured on her hand and head from the bombing but still smiled nonetheless.
She was martyred yesterday 💔

In the video, the Palestinian photographer held the woman’s identity card and told her: “You are older than Israel”.
“Of course, of course,” Nassar responded, adding “I am holding on to the (Palestinian) land.”
Since October 7, 17,177 Palestinians have been killed and more than 46,000 wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza.
