3 Gazan kids killed playing on roof — neighbor
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMore details about the three young children killed in Gaza have emerged, AFP reports.
The three, brothers Jihad and Wissam and their cousin Fulla, were playing on a roof when an Israeli strike hit and killed them, according to Gazan health officials.
All three were from the Shuheiber family, in Gaza City’s Sabra district.
After being cooped up at home for days on end, neighbors said the children were taking advantage of the relative calm that followed a brief truce between Israel and Hamas.
“They were playing on the roof,” said neighbor Raed al-Kurdi, 33, his white vest stained with blood.
“We were sitting on our roof next to our neighbor’s one and we found all of a sudden a rocket coming from above and it hit their roof,” he added.
