Other footage showed him crying in agony and looking at her body, which was wrapped in a white shroud instead of a wedding dress.
Adas’s uncle published a picture of her fiancé as he bid her farewell on Facebook and wrote,
“He reads the Qur’an for the soul of his fiancée, the martyr Dania Adas, my sister’s daughter, who was supposed to give him the hand of his bride a month from now. May Allah grant you patience.”
Ensaf Habib wrote,
“What did he mutter to her before her final resting place? Did he tell her about his wish to see her in a white dress in the hereafter? Did he tell her how much he longed for their life together in the marital nest and under one roof! Perhaps he admonished her for why she let go of his hand .. “
Wael Abu Omar commented,
“The (Israeli) occupation planes and missiles turned the white dress of joy into a white shroud. God’s mercy.”
