Ahmed from Tal Al Sultan, Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip was said to have been a lovely boy. He liked to plant his garden and to help other people in planting theirs. He was obedient. His hobbies were playing football, swimming and riding motorcycles. “Ahmed was injured during the war but he kept doing his regular daily activities,” his father said.

Ahmed was killed at the age of fifteen along with sixteen other people when an Israeli warplane attacked his aunt’s house without warning. The attack took place during an agreed ceasefire and the family was inside the home.  

 “There is nothing left to lose after losing them,” his father added.
