Mother witnesses son die in Israeli attack

Tragedy struck a Palestinian family on Monday morning in South Gaza, which has been continuously pounded by Israeli forces since Friday. The mother of Palestinian Raafat Abu Jawad Abu Eida watched her son walk out of the house seconds before he killed by an Israeli bomb dropped by military aircraft. The mother ran to her son's body and his last words to her were supposedly "forgive me Mum". This is but one of several stories that take place every day in Gaza as violence between armed Palestinian factions in Gaza and the Israeli military escalates. Another strike on Monday morning targeted a group of school students in Al-Sudaneya, north of Gaza, causing the death of a child injurin five others, according to medical spokesperson Adham Abu Salmeya.
