Bahaa Abu Al-Ajeen, 32, set out with his 3-year-old son Rayan to check on their family home east of Deir al-Balah.

After inspecting the house and leaving the area, Bahaa said he was shocked to see Israeli soldiers emerging from a nearby building. “My son was in my arms and crying intensely from fear,” he recalled.

According to his account, he decided to move away from the soldiers in an attempt to calm Rayan and walked approximately 500 meters from the area. Bahaa said that after he had distanced himself, the soldiers began shouting at him to stop. He stated that two shots were fired in his direction but did not hit either him or his son, prompting him to stop out of fear for their lives.

“After I stopped, one of the soldiers knelt down and fired directly at my son,” Bahaa said. “The bullet entered the back of Rayan’s head and exited through his left eye. Moments later, another bullet struck my left leg. When I saw them kill my son, I screamed and asked them, ‘He is a child. Why did you kill him?’”

Bahaa said he attempted to call an ambulance using his mobile phone, but the soldiers confiscated it and prevented him from seeking medical assistance. According to Bahaa’s testimony, Rayan bled for approximately seven minutes before dying from his injuries. He said he pleaded with the soldiers to save his son, but they refused.

I can explain why the Israelis are murdering innocent children. Children are the future, without them the Palestinians have none. It's as brutal as that.

It has become very clear, who the real terrorists are.

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

The friends we made along the way?

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago

Come on. We all know why they’re targeting the children.

Israel has never, in my entire lifetime, honored a ceasefire.

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Has it ever honored anything that was not in their obvious interest? If they did, it would not exist as a country.

the inhumanity makes my stomach churn

[–] nixfreak@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 weeks ago

Makes me sick that no other countries are doing a damn this about this.

[–] AnalogAllamma@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

There's defiantly something inhuman going on with these particular... humans?

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago

That nation needs to be invaded and dissolved.

It would be nice to have these articles on the lemmy all frontpage and not memes about stupid shit.

First time I've seen someone asking for less memes on Lemmy

I think some memes are good too. If it was all kids getting shot through the head many people would stop visiting because they can't handle that.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Who can? It's so fucking bleak, and you feel completely powerless to do anything about it as a private citizen. Speaking up and demonstrating only goes so far like...

First time I’ve seen someone asking for less memes on Lemmy

That's probably because all the serious posts are hard to find because they don't get upvoted as much as memes.

Some meme are good yes, a frontpage filled with these to the point where more serious content get shadowed is not good, it's actually really bad.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Every instance has a different way to sort their frontpage and do rating. On lemmy.ml it's almost all politics and news. On other instances it differs.

Cease ~what~ ~you're~ ~doing~ ~and~ fire

If any doubt the deliberate targeting of Palestinian children, all one has to do is view the satellite photos of Gaza before and after the "war" started.

In addition, I've seen multiple videos of Palestinian Emergency vehicles arriving at the site of an Israeli strike being hit by another strike. Double tap cruelty strike.
