Playing with friends, shot dead by Israel: A Jenin boy’s final moments

Al Jazeera  

Basil Abu al-Waf’s father, a doctor, raced to the spot near Jenin refugee camp. Jenin, occupied West Bank — Suleiman Abu al-Waf will never forget the “thumping sound” that forever changed his life. Praise be to God.” Basil and Adam, young boys playing in Jenin, were shot dead by Israeli soldiers during the Jenin raid, in which two adults were also killed. “What happened is heavier than the mountains, a feeling that only the parents feel.” Basil’s uncle Hazem Abu al-Wafa, who works in a medical analysis laboratory, describes his nephew as a simple child. “Basil is a child who does not know anything in life except his school, his books, and playing with his friends, like the interests of any other child,” Hazem says.
