I am entering luxurious castle here.
No one will expect who I'm about to meet!
This is the family of the General Commander of Al-Qassam: Muhammad Al-Deif, Abu Khaled.
The living conditions that you see...
No one would have expected to see the family [of the General Commander] in this place.
Everyone expected them to be in tunnels, or a villa, or a place with better conditions.
Um Khaled? This is the first time anyone calls her Umm Khaled (by her real title)
What did they call you before?
Before today —in school— they would call me Um Fawzi.
Before that: Um Hussam, Um Al-Saeed, Um Al-Abed, Muna Hamdan...
Praise be to Allah!
Of course, Um Khaled has been called by many names before today.
But today, for the first time, we can call her Um Khaled.
Even the children had different names: Fawzi, Fawaz...different names...
Today, for the first time, they can say they are the children of the General Commander of Al-Qassam, Muhammad Al-Deif.
This place that you live in, what are the living conditions?
You were probably used to moving from place to place before the war?
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. This is our home before and after the war.
The same living conditions and the same life.
A rug and a mattress?
Four mattresses and a rug. It is enough! Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
Yes! Um Khaled shares the same living conditions as other families in the Gaza Strip:
on charcoal and firewood.. simple things, a very simple house.
The occupation's narrative is collapsing at this very moment.
They said that [Al-Qassam] leaders were living in different conditions from the Palestinian people,
while this is the reality: that Um Khaled is living in this place!
