According to forensics, the cause of death was traumatic asphyxia.
According to the testimony of the child’s father, his son was helping him collect scrap metal from the landfill in the Johr al-Dik area, southeast Gaza City, when he lost him. After hours of searching, the child was then found killed inside the landfill.
