"My Daughter Went Out to Learn, Not to Fight": Gaza Grieves More Children Killed by Israel
GAZA CITY, GAZA—Three-year-old Yahya Al-Malahi lay on a metal table in the morgue of Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. Family members wept as they caressed his small body and stroked his cheek. A large hole, the size of an orange, was missing from the back of his head.
Yahya was among five Palestinians killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a police vehicle on Al-Nafaq street, a crowded civilian area in the middle of Gaza City on Tuesday.
“I wish it had been me instead of you,” Yahya’s father Mukhlis Al-Malahi said as he sobbed over his son’s body. His sweater was soaked with his son’s blood. Al-Malahi told Drop Site Yahya was being carried on his uncle’s back when the missile struck. “I felt I was hit, I began to say the shahada. Then I found my son, his head was split open,” he said.
The Al-Malahi family were walking on Al-Nafaq street on their way back from a wedding of a relative when the attack happened. “My cousin, his son, and his brothers were on their way home when there was an airstrike in the street,” Yahya’s cousin, Hader Al-Malahi, told Drop Site through tears. “The little boy was martyred, and his brothers and uncles were injured. That’s what happened. His crime was that he was a Palestinian child—a Palestinian child who had a wedding to attend. Instead of wearing a suit, he is now wearing a shroud.”

No, not Hamas. Israel the terrorist state.
Seven more Palestinians killed on the same day as this 3 year-old child, including another child. People are still hungry, aid is still impeded. Every day it's like this.
The state of this "ceasefire" can be measured by the size of that gaping hole in little Yahya's head.
