Gaza's Fallen Stars: The Untold Story of Inas Al-Saqa

The scene set by colonizers and their local lackeys for a grand theatrical performance across the expanse of Palestine was meant to narrate a tragic story devoid of heroes.

The play's script dictated that "evil" would always be victorious, condemning the "oppressed" to languish indefinitely in their suffering.

Yet, with each passage of this drama, heroes emerge, defying expectations, tearing apart the script, and striving to assert their own narrative upon the stage.

Palestinian men rise in defiance, armed with their unwavering resolve, 

while their women join the struggle alongside their husbands or brothers, perpetuating the dream of victory for the newborn champions of tomorrow who will carry the torch of freedom.

Among these remarkable women was Inas Al-Saqa, a distinguished figure in Palestine's modern culture, revered as a co-founder of the Women’s Society Theater in Gaza.

An ardent cultural advocate, Inas chose to remain in Gaza, aspiring to foster its cultural identity in the midst of the suffocating restrictions imposed by the Israeli regime long before October 7, 2023.

Ultimately, amidst the daily Israeli bombings of Gaza, Inas was murdered alongside her two daughters and husband. 

Her eternal legacy is one of 'hope,' for she firmly believed that, despite all challenges, the Palestinian people would never succumb to despair.
