Qasem Uteiwi 15
Killed 19 mar 2011
Two children were killed in Gaza while trying to cross the border to look for a job in Israel.
Imad and Qasem were friends and classmates. They lived in An Nuseirat refugee camp, Central Gaza. Qasem lived in a household of fourteen members. Imad, according to his father, ‘was a quiet boy; he didn"t mingle with too many people; just with some friends from school. He used to come home in the evening after playing in the street and go straight to his room.'
On 19 March 2011, both children went missing from their homes. Imad’s father remembers the last time he saw his son: ‘At around 6:00 pm on 19 March 2011, I saw Imad (...) He sat with us for a while to drink some tea, and then went out again. At around 9:00pm, I went to bed without seeing him again. I didn"t know whether he had come back home or was sill out. At around 10:00pm, I heard huge explosions and called a friend who lives in the Gaza governorate to ask him what was happening. He said the waste dump in Juhor ad Dik in central Gaza had been bombed. I didn"t pay much attention to this news as bombings are frequent. Anyway, about two hours later I heard on the radio that two people had been killed in that area, the waste dump. I thought they were probably fighters (...) The next morning, at around eight, my wife came to the room and said she couldn"t find Imad. We asked his siblings, and they said he hadn"t slept in his room.' His mother went to look for him, but to no avail, so his father went to the police to report him missing.
Qasem’s father, on the other hand, noticed his son’s absence the evening before, on return from evening prayers in the mosque. ‘My sons and I left the house and went to look for him. We kept looking until around 10:00pm but couldn"t find him.’
At around 11:00 am on 20 March 2011, ‘a relative called me and said he had heard on the radio that two children had been killed and their bodies were in Shifa hospital in Gaza City,' says Imad’s father. 'I started thinking it could be him [Imad]. I quickly rushed to the hospital and headed straight to the morgue and asked to see the dead bodies. Imad was there. (...) His left eye was injured, his right arm was hanging off, not to mention the multiple wounds all over his body.'
Qasem’s father also headed to the morgue on hearing of his son’s death from someone in Imad’s family: 'When I arrived, I found Qasem in the morgue. He was wearing the same clothes as when he had left the house. It seemed his clothes were not torn, but I couldn"t check properly because it was too painful for me to look at him lying there. The doctors told me he had died of shrapnel wounds in his back before he arrived in the hospital.'
Imad’s friend, Nedal, says Imad was obsessed with crossing the border and finding a job in Israel: ‘His family is poor. His father doesn"t work much. (...) Imad dreamed of having money to buy what he needed, especially clothes. He used to talk about working in Israel. (...) “I can sneak into the border and enter Israel and work there; there"s plenty of work there,” he said. (...) “But how would you enter Israel?” I asked him. “Simple,” he said and then brought a pen and a paper and started drawing the border line and explaining how he would go to the village of Juhor ad Dik, approach the border line and cut it to enter into Israel. “If the army catches me, that won"t be a problem because I"ll tell them that I need to work since my conditions are very harsh,” Imad said.'
Since the beginning of 2011, DCI has documented the deaths of six Palestinian children killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes and tank shells in the Gaza Strip. At least eight more have been injured

A 15-year-old Palestinian child was killed on Friday evening after the Israeli Navy chased a fishing boat close to the Rafah shore, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip; the boat flipped over after the army opened fire at it.
Medical sources in Rafah reported that the slain child was identified as Ziad Samir Al Bardaweel. His body was moved to Abu Yousef Al Najjar Hospital in Rafah.
Dozens of casualties were reported among fishermen in the Gaza Strip in recent years due to the fact that the Israeli Navy repeatedly attacks Palestinian fishermen, and prevents them from fishing in Palestinian territorial waters.

Slain Ramallah Youth; Shot By A Settler, Left To Die
Palestinian medical sources reported that Aysar al-Zaben, 15, who was killed on Friday, was shot by Israeli settlers in Wad Al Haramiyya area near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, apparently bled to death as a bullet struck him in the heart.
Al Zaben, from Al Ma'sara Al Sharqiyya village, was shot and by a Jewish settler and was left to die.
Palestinian medics who were informed of the shooting by local residents searched the area and located his body three hours after he was wounded.
After the body of al-Zaben was located and autopsy revealed he was shot by one live round.
The Israeli army only stated that “there was shooting in the area after stones were hurled at a settlers’ vehicle” on Friday evening at settler road number 60.
Meanwhile, Palestinian eyewitnesses confirmed that a settler stepped out of his vehicle carrying an assault rifle and chased several children while firing at them.
Israeli sources reported that Israeli eyewitnesses said that they phoned the police and said that they saw three persons, one armed, leaving a vehicle, and that the armed person opened fire at Palestinian youths who hurled stones at him.
Meanwhile, member of Israeli Knesset of the fundamentalist “National Union Party”, Michael Ben Ari, defended the settlers and said that attack was an act of self defense.
Ben Ari added that Palestinians who hurl stones at the settlers and the soldiers and the setters “have the intention to kill Israelis”.
Shortly before the incident, two settlers were mildly wounded by Palestinian fire near the settlement of Ofra, not far from the area were the Palestinian youth was killed.
The Israeli army warned the Palestinian Authority that it takes any similar incident as a serious issue, and demanded the P.A police and security forces to calm the situation down.

Mazen Ahmed Muhammad Matr 15
Killed 23 jan 2009 Cast Lead
When the sound of explosions stopped for a while, streams of Gazan men went out to check the stricken areas. The 15-year old Mazen joined the stream to share in the survey. He found a small object of the Israeli remains, which he took to explore later at home.
At home, Mazen started to examine the small object and within seconds it blew up in his face. His blood covered the rug. His mother was not at home then. She had gone to mourn a friend, in Jabalia camp. Mazen’s brothers were in the house, but none of them were hurt.
His mother, recalls Mazen’s manners, "Not only Mazen helped his family but also he used to quickly give a hand to anybody who asked for help. When water was cut in our neighborhood, Mazen helped fill the reservoir manually."
"Mazen memorized four parts of the Noble Qur'an and loved to stay at the mosque for long times", the sad mother adds.
Mazen was a third-grade student at a preparatory school. Mazen excelled in football owing this to his tall and thin body. He was a member of his school team. He loved to play football so much without feeling exhausted or bored.
"In his spare time, Mazen, also, used to spend his time at home in front of his computer and competing with his brothers in the computer games.", his mother recalls.
