Teacher, university professor, molecular biologist and molecular geneticist Reham Ishneiwra, said to be one of the brightest and most versatile scientific minds in all of Gaza, was reportedly killed either in November or last June already not before she had developed a revolutionary method for purifying seawater for her people in Gaza. It was called Operation Magic Stone. https://rehamishneiwra.com/ 
As time goes on and with so many people have been lost in the disaster, I am forced back to my own notebooks where I jot down names and events registered by others in the course of my research. That it might go untold that there were many women scientists and students killed in the genocide as well as artists and journalist seems evident and yet there is another realm of memory open to us who hear the voice of the waters. Operation Magic Stone spoke to me and I knew that eventually there would be a poem or something like this.
