"Daddy, my love, come to me." A daughter says goodbye to her father in words meant for a man who can no longer answer, as Mohammed Al-Habil and his son are laid to rest after an Israeli occupation strike killed them both in northern Gaza City today. Her farewell, spoken to his lifeless body, is the kind of moment that has repeated itself across the Strip for over 2 years and a half in the recent genocide, a child calling out to a parent and a brothr who had been taken in an instant. Father and son were killed together, and buried together, two more names in a toll that has not stopped climbing. mohamed_jebrel_ (IG)

While reporting from Halhul today in the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers severely damaged our vehicle and those of several Palestinians, smashing windows & puncturing tires. Thankfully, no one was in the vehicles. We won't be deterred from continuing to report on this story.

"They shot the boy in the head, a direct shot, by a sniper." Bahaa Abu al-Ajeen describes how his 3-year-old son Rayan was killed in his arms in the Wadi al-Salqa area east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza by Israeli occupation terrorists. The two of them, with one other man, were walking toward the family's greenhouses when Israeli occupation soldiers opened fire from an abandoned house. The bullet struck Rayan in the head and exited through his eye. As the boy bled in his arms, his father, himself shot in the leg, begged the soldiers to save his son and reached for his phone to call an ambulance, but a soldier seized the phone and told him to call no one. Bahaa pleaded with them to forget about him and save the boy. Instead, he says, they bound him, dragged him from place to place on a stretcher, dumped him in an empty area and left him unconscious. When he came to, his son lay beside him wrapped in a dark shroud, and the soldier told him he was being taken to prison. He asked only to bury his son first. The family says they were outside the so-called "Yellow Line," in an area not under direct Israeli control, when the shooting happened. Rayan's killing is not an aberration but a pattern. The shooting of Palestinian children, often in the head and from a distance, has been documented again and again by human rights groups across both Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where monitors like Defense for Children International Palestine and B'Tselem record children shot dead who posed no threat to anyone, in incidents that almost never lead to any accountability. Despite the ceasefire that officially took effect on 10 October 2025, Israeli occupation forces have continued to kill Palestinians in Gaza in their hundreds, frequently firing on civilians who stray near shifting, often invisible front lines around their own homes and farmland. A three-year-old carried in his father's arms, shot through the head while walking to the family's greenhouses, and a wounded father denied even the chance to call for help, is what that reality looks like for one family among thousands. @mena_gaza

🚨Horrifying footage shows the moment 40 year old Khalil Jamil Al-Masri was shot by an Israeli quadcopter drone in Gaza last night. He is currently in intensive care, fighting for his life.

🚨BREAKING: HORRIFIC CRIME Israeli forces have killed child Ryan Bahaa Abu Al-Ajeen shortly after detaining him and his father in Wadi Al-Salqa, east of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip. He was taken to hospital after his release but was pronounced dead on arrival, while his father was injured. The Israeli military had previously claimed it targeted an “armed group” in the area.
