Seven-year-old Mohamed from Al Shate’e refugee camp in Gaza City was an intelligent child. He was an outstanding student at school. His hobbies were playing football and computer games, and riding bicycles. He was described to have the personality of a “hero”. He liked to sing and dance to children’s songs. “He used to do the shopping for the necessary items for the household,” his mother said.
On the day of Eid, 28 July 2014, Mohamed went out to celebrate the holiday in the park with the other children. He was waiting for his turn on the swing. An Israeli warplane targeted the group of children. Many people were killed on the spot, including Mohamed. Many others were seriously injured, including his brother and his father.
