It was Thursday 19 October at about 06:30, and Israel had been bombing Gaza for 12 days straight.

He’d been in his third-floor, three-bedroom flat in al-Zahra, a middle-class area in the north of the Gaza Strip. Until now, it had been largely untouched by air strikes.

He’d heard a rising clamour outside. People were screaming. “You need to escape,” somebody in the street shouted, “because they will bomb the towers”.

    May Hamas, the Israeli gov’t, and the IDF spend an eternity in Hell for the crimes they’ve committed against humanity and innocent civilians.

    If the mods/admins want to ban me for saying that, feel free. I don’t want to be part to any group that supports and advocates for murders and war crimes.
