Short Link:
Name: Mo'ein Mohamed Mahrous Siam.
Date of birth: 17 December 2010
Date of death: 21 July 2014 .
Three-year-old Mo'ein from Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was a distinct child. He was very active, pampered and a very clever child. He liked to play ball and with bicycles. He liked to be with his father all the time. He was anxious to go to kindergarten. His grandfather hoped to see him an educated young man.
The Siam family house was located adjacent to the Abu Sneimah home that was bombarded by Israeli missiles. The Siam family decided to evacuate. As soon as they went out to the street, they were hit by a missile. Ten were killed instantly, including Abdel Rahman. Many others were wounded.
“It’s so hard losing the family all at once,” added Mahrous.
