4-year-old Rayyan Tayseer Ahmed Abu Jamee from Khan Younis loved going to kindergarten. He also loved playing with his toys. He used to copy his brother Ayoub and sometimes got jealous of his toys. “He was very close to me. He liked sleeping next me and used to kiss and hug him all the time,” said his father. Sometimes Rayyan took his mother’s mobile phone to call his dad to tell him that he missed him.

On 20 July 2014 the Abu Jamee’s three-story house was bombarded by missiles by Israeli forces. There was no prior warning given. Twenty-six people were killed, including Rayyan.
