Khalil Ibrahim Sheikh Al-Eid

Location Rafah

Two-year-old Khalil from the Msabeh area of Rafah had a distinct and very funny way of speaking. His father loved listening to his son speak. Khalil liked to play football and to play with his sister Aya. He used to make a massage for his grandmother’s feet to relieve her pain.

On Friday, 1 August 2014, in the midst of intense random shelling by Israeli forces throughout Rafah, Ibrahim Sheikh Al Eid decided that his family should evacuate their house. With his wife and three children, he left the home looking for a taxi. They could only find an ambulance, so they accompanied the injured therein. The ambulance was attacked by two missiles from an Israeli drone. Everyone inside the ambulance was killed including Khalil.
