In a small room beside an open window, 15-month-old Zaid Nofal slept without a blanket, unable to escape Gaza's sweltering summer heat. 'Israel is intent on killing us' - Fatima Nofal, Palestinian motherAlthough wounded in the attack, Nofal refused to leave and called on neighbours to search for her son. Three sons killed in 2023His death reopened the trauma of 13 October 2023, when an Israeli air strike killed three of Nofal's sons. That strike killed her eldest son, 16-year-old Amin, 11-year-old Hamza, and Ahmed, her newborn son who was just 22 days old. After witnessing the deaths of her own children, Nofal believes Palestinian civilians, particularly women and children, have been deliberately targeted by Israel.
