Martyr Muhammad Ali Kiyalaha, only 20 days old, along with his brother Muhammad Hassan Kiyalaha and their mother, went to their uncle’s house (Martyr Mehdi Rostami). There, together with their mother and the uncle’s family, they ascended to martyrdom.
On the evening of March 21, 2026, the Zionist regime once again committed a crime unparalleled in human history. This time, the victims were not soldiers nor fighters, but a 20-day-old infant named Muhammad Ali Kiyalaha, along with his brother Muhammad Hassan and their mother, who were targeted in an airstrike while at the home of their uncle, Martyr Mehdi Rostami.
Muhammad Ali, an infant who had yet to taste the smile of life, was martyred in his mother’s arms. Muhammad Hassan, the young child of the family, had recently told his teacher in an online class about going to buy something for his little brother—a simple dream that never came true.
This crime once again reveals the true face of a regime that claims to be defending itself, yet in practice targets residential homes with women and children. The silence of the international community in the face of these systematic child-killings is itself complicity in these atrocities.
Muhammad Ali, Muhammad Hassan, and their mother are victims of a global indifference that witnesses the genocide of Palestinians every day and remains silent. From now on, the conscience of humanity is tied to the name “Kiyalaha”—a name that reminds us of the innocents martyred in the shadow of the world’s silence.
The international community must understand that every moment of delay in halting these crimes amounts to signing yet another document of child-killing that the Zionist regime stamps with the blood of innocent children.
