Hamid Al-Masri smiled to his father but he said no bye

Hamid Asa’ad Al-Masri (3 years) plays, has fun and wraps around his Mum’s feet, she prepares food in corner in the house, there are a dining room, a bedroom and a sitting room, but in the indiscriminate bombing carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, no luxury, but looking for the safest corner.

The occupation artillery started to launch its lava, and shelling gets closer, explosions are unbearable. The parent carried his wife and children departing towards a safer place. “We began to cross the street,” said Asa’ad, “suddenly a shell was fired at us and hit the street, bullets started to be fired at us, too, my wife fell down covered with blood, while Hamid did not say bye.

Doctor Ali Musa, the director of Abu Yousef al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah, says that Hamid injured by a heavy shot that entered from the back and came out of the chest.

Hamid probably felt his father’s hand patting his shoulder to reassure him and he smiled.
