On 4 August 2014, the Al Shaer’ house, which is located adjacent to the Masood family’s house, was bombarded by an Israeli missile. Blocks of concrete and rubble fell on Raghad’s bed while she was in her room. Raghad died instantly. She was two years old. Her little sister was also killed. Hala was nine days old.
