North: Miriam was killed with her son

VIDEO - The principal at the school where Miriam Ahmad Asadi from Dir al-Assad worked spoke to her Thursday morning about the upcoming school year's curriculum – several hours later, a rocket hit al-Assadi's home and put a tragic end to those plans. Miriam, 26, and her son Fathi, 5, who were in the kitchen at the time of the attack were killed, while another son and his grandmother sustained serious wounds. Meanwhile, Fathi's father agreed to donate his son's corneas.

Miriam and her husband wed six years ago. Relatives described her as a kind woman who worked hard as a teacher. "She came back home everyday to cook for and play with the children she loved so much," one family member said. The principal at Miriam's school said she worked there for three years and taught Arabic. "She was a committed, loyal educator who radiated warmth to the children and always made sure to do everything she was tasked with faithfully," he said. "The pupils really loved her, loved her sense of humor and the smile that was on her face everyday. It was the same among the teachers." The brother of Miriam's husband, Nasser Ahmed Fatahallah Assadi, told Ynet he was at the top floor of the house that was hit, while other family members were in the kitchen when the rocket landed. "I heard the explosion, immediately went downstairs, heard crying from the backyard and rushed there," he said. "I saw their little boy dead, it was impossible to help him. I heard terrible crying and screams. It was a difficult scene. It's very hard to see the bodies of your relatives lying there like that." Meanwhile, surgeons at the hospital in Nahariya finished operating on the seriously wounded son and grandmother. The 50-year-old grandmother was transferred to the intensive care department and is said to be in serious condition. The child, Fares, lost a leg and is being treated at the children's intensive care wing. Raanan Ben-Zur contributed to the story
