Sixteen-year-old Emad from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was a calm child. He was sociable and loved by many. He had a lot of friends.

He wanted to be an electrical engineer,” his mother Raghda, 36, said.

At 10:00 am on 2 August 2014, Emad returned to the house to check on his pigeons. When he reached the front door an Israeli warplane targeted him with a missile. There was no prior warning. “Emad was instantly killed,” said his mother.
