The story of the child Ahmad Al-Qawasmi
Ahmad Ali Darwish al-Qawasma 14
His story is more Cruel than Mohammad Al-Durra’s
The Zionist soldier put his leg on his neck and shot him in the head after injuring him.
Contrary to the claim the occupation forces do not deliberately target children; statistics indicate that unarmed children are a frequent target of occupation soldiers.
From the start of Al-Aqsa Intifada till 5 June 2005, the number of Palestinian children murdered by occupation troops and settlers stands at 707.
Ahmad was a victim of the inhumanity of the occupation forces which is rarely documented. Ahmad was killed and a few witnesses saw the crime.

10 die as violence flares on West Bank
Israeli tanks fired on a Palestinian police post, and Jewish motorists were sprayed with gunfire as one of the bloodiest days in 10 weeks of Middle East violence left 10 people dead yesterday. Thirteen years after Palestinian anger at Israel's occupation exploded in the first intifada, the first of two days of protests to mark the 1987 uprising brought a sharp escalation in violence yesterday.
The day began and ended with drive-by shootings by Palestinian gunmen, intensifying the battle for control of the roads in the West Bank. Three Israelis were killed in two separate attacks.
Yesterday also saw Palestinians returning to the stone-throwing protests which have been waning since the first weeks of this intifada.
Seven Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces across the West Bank and in Jerusalem, where protesters burned tyres and stoned riot police on the Via Dolorosa, in the fiercest clashes in the holy city for two months.
In the bloodiest single incident of the day, Israeli tanks launched three shells at a Palestinian police post in the West Bank city of Jenin, killing three uniformed officers and a civilian passerby. Zuheir Manasra, the governor of Jenin, said the Israelis had opened fire without provocation on an area under the control of Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said the post was in an area under Israeli control, but admitted the soldiers had fired first. "It is a place where a lot of Palestinian people opened fire on our soldiers," she said. "It was very dangerous."
Outside the Jewish settle ment of Kiryat Arba yesterday morning, gunmen sprayed a white Israeli van with bullets, killing a school teacher, before fleeing to a village under Palestinian control. The van driver died later in the day.
A second Israeli car was targeted after dark outside a Jewish settlement near Jericho, killing a soldier.
During the last four weeks, Palestinian drive-by shootings have exacted an increasingly heavy toll on Israeli settlers and soldiers in the West Bank and Gaza, and driven some Israelis from their homes in the isolated Jewish outposts.
Israeli intelligence officials warned this week that the Palestinian gunmen were perfecting their methods, turning the roads built with the intention of protecting Jewish settlers into killing zones.
Yesterday's killings increased the pressure on Israel's prime minister, Ehud Barak, to strike back against Palestinian gunmen, and extinguished hopes that a relative lull in violence could take hold.
Nearly 310 people have been killed in the uprising, which exploded with far greater savagery than the original intifada.
Those protests, which lasted until 1993, pushed Israel to enter negotiations with Mr Arafat aimed at creating a Palestinian state. But after yesterday's violence, and the prospects of reprisal attacks today as Israelis and Palestinians bury their dead, hopes of re-opening negotiations seemed all but lost.
As news of the van shooting spread yesterday morning, angry settlers roamed the streets of nearby Hebron with assault rifles, calling for revenge. Mourners from the funeral procession of the slain teacher clashed with riot police and leftwing peace activists out side Mr Barak's residence in Jerusalem.
2Inside the ramparts of Jerusalem's old city, meanwhile, afternoon prayers at the al-Aqsa mosque on the second Friday of Ramadan saw hun dreds of protesters fan out along the Via Dolorosa, breaking up chunks of rubble before hurling them at police.
As young men with their heads covered with scarves prowled the ramparts of the mosque, raising the Palestinian flag, one group broke away to attack the gates of a police station at Lion's Gate with a steel battering ram. Once inside, they set it alight, for the second time in two months.
Among the 10 who died yesterday was a teenager killed when riot police fired rubber bullets; a boy, 16, shot by Israeli troops in Bethlehem; and another Palestinian, 15, declared clinically dead in Hebron.
