448 children killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza, UN says
The 72-hour ceasefire had barely expired when Israeli airstrikes on Gaza resumed on Friday.
As Israel claimed it is targeting “terror sites,” its first victim was a ten-year-old child in Gaza City. Ibrahim Dawawsa was killed while playing with some friends in the yard of a mosque close to his home, when a missile ended his life and injured his two young friends.
During the nearly month-long military offensive on Gaza
prior to the short ceasefire, Israel killed 448 children and injured
2,502, according to United Nations estimates. As of 8 August, the death toll in Gaza had reached 1,922.
