5-year-old Abdel Haleem Mohammed Al Silik from Gaza City loved to watch the children’s TV show, Toyour Al Janna, like many children his age. He liked going to kindergarten and to visit his grandfather. He especially liked playing with his toy horse, which was his favorite toy of all. “He wanted to become a doctor when he grew up,” said his mother.

 

At approximately 5:00 pm on Wednesday, 30 July 2014, the Israeli forces announced a truce. The grandfather went upstairs to the roof with his grandchildren, as they did before the war. An Israeli warplane them. As a result, the grandfather Abdel Kareem Al Silik, 70, and his seven grandchildren: Lena, 8; Malak, 6; Ola, 8; Omnih, 8; Abdel Haleem, 5; Abdel Aziz, 3; and Liyan, 3, were killed. They all died instantly.
