Adham Ahmed Ibrahim Abu Eitah

Location North

Four-year-old Adham Ahmed Ibrahim Abu Eitah, from Jabaliya, was nicknamed “Tuma”. Like many little boys his age, Tuma loved to watch cartoons, especially Tom and Jerry. Sadly, as a result of living through countless military onslaughts by Israel, Adham and his friends came up with and used to play a game called ‘Palestinians and Israelis’ in which the Israelis shot and killed the Palestinians. Adham used to play the role of the Palestinian who was killed. On 24 July 2014, Adham’s house was hit by a missile from a drone; everyone ran down to the ground floor. A few minutes later, the house next door was targeted by an aircraft. Five people were killed in this second attack, including Adham and his father. Adham’s mother has become very withdrawn since the attack; she says that she can’t stop thinking about her son and her husband, said Tuma’s uncle, Ismail.
