The child, Mohammed Yousef Abu A’asi, 9 years old from Bani Suheila near Khan Younis, was shot with a bullet which penetrated his back got out his body through the chest at the junction of Netzarim Settlement “Al-Shohada’ Junction” in one of the most bloody scenes of the Israeli Occupation Forces’ crimes. He immediately died. It is another evidence of the crimes committed by the Israeli Occupation Forces. It seems that the child was walking in an opposite direction to the Israeli Occupation Forces, which had no mercy on his childhood; they shot him dead from behind.

Smokes are ascending out of an adjacent steel factory, it was bombed by a shell.
