Noura Sheikh al-Eid, a 54-year-old Palestinian mother, saw her husband and daughter off to Egypt for medical treatment. Upon returning home on 5 November 2026, an Israeli sniper killed her while she was on her way back to her displacement tent in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Her brother, Mohammed Sheikh al-Eid, expressed his grief, stating that she was like a second mother to him.
Noura's daughter, Hiba, had recently completed her secondary school exams and was accompanying her ailing father to Egypt to study medicine abroad. The family registered Hiba as her father's medical companion. Noura refused to leave them at the Palestine Red Crescent centre and accompanied her husband and daughter to the destination.
