Ra'ed Muhammad al-Halabi

Ra'ed Muhammad al-Halabi

Age 9 · Gaza

Ra'ed Muhammad al-Halabi: "Give me my childhood and my toys!" Ra'ed, a child from Gaza, loved to play very much, like all the children of the world. But he never had the chance, as the bombing in his city never stopped, and the "Zannana" [drone] flew over his head every day. Ra'ed would seize the opportunity when the occupation's planes disappeared from the city's sky for a moment, and decided to play with his small glass marbles with his friends. But "Israel" found him, considering him part of its savage target bank, and killed him and his friends with him. In the Shati camp massacre, Ra'ed was killed, the child who dreamed of nothing more than a safe life and playing beside his home. Ra'ed, a child whom "Israel" killed, just as it continues to kill thousands of children like him.
