Ismail Hamdan's mother kisses her son [Ma'anImages]
December 31, 2008
Gaza – Ma’an – The most recent victim of Israeli airstrikes was 10-year-old Ismail Hamdan, who succumbed to his injuries after being hit by a missile while running an errand for his mother near their home in Beit Hanoun.
Ismail was with his two sisters when the missile struck, they were both torn to pieces on impact Tuesday afternoon.
The three were pulled out of a rubble pile by a passerby and transported to hospital via donkey-cart. The girls, 5-year-old Lama Hamdan, 12-year-old Haya Hamdan, were declared dead on arrival, but Ismail still had a faint heartbeat.
Dr Ibrahim Abu Ghazala treated fractures in each of Ismail’s limbs, removed damaged portions of his liver and pancreas and feared that if the boy survived he would have massive brain damage. He died on the operating table.
During a lull in the air and artillery strikes Wednesday afternoon Ismail’s mother sent her children on a quick errand; a chance for them to get some fresh air after being cooped up in the house for five days.
The two girls were scared to go by themselves outdoors, so their brother Ismail volunteered to go with them.
The Hamdan children are only the most recent victims of Israel’s Operation Cast Lead, which was set to root out military factions responsible for the continued launch of projectiles into Israel.
As of Wednesday, de facto Health Ministry officials say there are 395 dead; at least 15 percent are children.
Dr Abu Ghazala has witnessed the death of dozens of children at Gaza City’s Ash-Shifa Hospital. He explains his bitterness every time another small body is sent to sit on the ground in the full hospital morgue.
They try so hard to resist death, he says, but they end up fueling this conflict that has nothing to do with them.

| Comment by edgerr - 02 Jan 2009 - 10:03 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | That's because they breed like rats!! |
| Comment by anti-edgerr - 02 Jan 2009 - 11:58 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | we can only presume that you are speaking of the palestinians when you make your cryptic statement..." thats because they breed like rats!"...If you were speaki ng of the jews like that you would be accused of a "hate crime" and you would be hounded to the edge of the earth!!!!
funny that!....what a strange person you must be...anti children...anti love and family...anti-semite, as the palestinians are much more semitic than the great majority of the jews in palestine...a very dangerous person that can only like o ne group of people...jews. you are a racist and a vulgar person who , standing at the edge of the scene screams half thought-out epithets into the tragedy.
shut the f*ck-up and get a brain...start thinking for yourself...at least you ha ve the information which we know the majority of americans don´t have....there i s an advantage for you...you got to this site...uruknet gives you a lot of infor mation that the poor lied-to, kept-in-the-dark, drugged-out americans never get. ..so we can almost forgive them their seeming stupidity....but you...haveing got here, have no excuse for your ignorance or betrayal of your own humanity!...start praying, ask for the humility to empathize with those in pain...maybe there will be a god for you. |
| Comment by final days - 02 Jan 2009 - 13:50 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | this is the begining of the "end of times",just as predited by many the great w ars will start in the middle-east 2009-2010,and then in 2012 the planet will ge t a big punch and many to most humans will perish.thank god,the earth needs to b e rid of this cancer called humans..Israel willnot survive as the believe they a re protected by god,god has never protected them and the holocaust proved that..soon arab/persian nations will uprise against this rabid dog and Israel and America will fall..none will matter as we have only 3 years left.. |
| Comment by neil1 - 02 Jan 2009 - 18:26 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | | the practice of savagery has always been one of the favorites with the coloniali st ,evil is what they do best |
| Comment by michaelm - 03 Jan 2009 - 13:45 [REGISTERED USER] | Missile ? The kids running along a street for an errand ?
Try this: Apache helicopter hovering 250mtrs away; looking for targets of opport unity in its allocated sector, any targets of extreme youth especially welcome.
Conclusion: Jews target kids on the principle that nits make lice. |
