Bloody Scenes Haunt Kids as Bombs Fall in Israel-Gaza Fight

Instead of enjoying his summer holiday, 10-year-old Mohammed Bakker is grieving for two brothers and two cousins he saw die on a Gaza beach from Israeli navy shell fire.

“A bomb landed near us while we were playing soccer,” said Bakker, who comes from a family of fishermen. He ran to safety at a nearby cafe during the July 16 attack and within seconds “another bomb hit that same place and killed them,” he said. “I saw their bodies on the ground covered with blood and sand.”
