Sudanese folk Islam
holds that the holy man is sharing his Baraka or blessings also after death through his grave,
which is the repository for his Baraka and thus becomes a place of ziyara ziyarat or visitation.
Nour Baraka, a senior commander of the Qassam Brigades, was among
those killed, as Israeli forces pounded the Khan Younis area with air raids to give the unit cover to escape back into Israel using a civilian car.
