The three children were killed on 17 July by a missile fired by a drone, while they were on the roof feeding the pigeons. Two other children who were also on the roof survived: Udai Wisam Shuheibar (16, Afnan's brother) and Basil Yasser Shuheibar (8)

The children were visiting their grandfather, taking advantage of a ceasefire that expired just minutes before the strike

Female relatives of the killed children are devastated. Wisam, the father of Afnan, declared “Until now I don’t believe this has happened.”

Afnan was a top student of her class. His father, Wisam says: "I wish that one day someone can tell me why my children were targeted. I wish to know the reasons. Even on the internet, the Israelis said there was no reason."

Al Mezan interviewed Jamila Shuheibar (65), the grandmother of the deceased children. She said that she “rushed to the roof where the sound came from to see my grandchildren's bodies on the ground. All that was there were the fragments of their little bodies and the small bag of chicken food."

Survivor Udai (16) stands in front of the birds' cage. His father explains, "He tries to forget. For two weeks after what happened, he had panic attacks."

Basil (8) is one of two children who survived the attack. He suffers from serious injuries in the arm, hand and head. He is in need of further surgery and there are still pieces of shrapnel in his head. According to his father, Yasser, Basil has problems focusing and cannot sleep without pills due to the pain and nightmares
