While the little girl was searching for life in a “game” to escape the sounds of war, “Israel” killed her. Just like that, without warning, a plane dropped a missile, assassinating her body, her dream, and her last smile.
Tala (9 years old) was playing with skateboarding shoes in front of the door of the house she had moved to with her family, opposite the municipal park in the center of Gaza City.
The images stirred sadness, oppression, and inflamed feelings of helplessness in hearts. One imagines the scene of Tala’s killing with her small body exhausted by hunger in the north of the city. One imagines how the shrapnel pushed her to the ground… I killed her after pulling her from the depths of her joy of wearing her wheeled shoes, and playing in them like a free bird in a sky untainted by shelling, fire, gunpowder, and bullets.
Tala should have had a good night’s sleep if she hadn’t lived in a country occupied by “Israel”! She slept an eternal sleep on the night of September 3, 2024, murdered.
The sound of her laughter disappeared seconds after the noise of her joy over her pink “skate” shoes! A color that girls love and choose in all their belongings, became blood red!
The little girl had said in a video clip that went viral a while ago: “I have fun and enjoy when I skate, even though the streets are broken, but I try to walk on them.”
As for her wishes, she added: “I don’t wish for anything or want anything. I just want the state of fear that I have to go away. I want someone to sleep without being afraid, eat without being afraid, live without being afraid, and play without being afraid.”
This death that no one masters like “Israel”, every time the soldiers practice new methods, they do not get tired of practicing death that has become a habit for 11 months since the start of the war of extermination. They celebrate it, blow up houses in joy, send the clips to their loved ones and publish them on social media. They feel ecstasy when they torture a Palestinian, when they kill women and children and promote more ecstasy of joy with this act!
Israel killed more than 16,500 other children in the Gaza Strip, in less than one year only.
