(AFP) Oct. 7 survivor Sabine Taasa, 48, who lost her husband and 17-year-old son during the Hamas attack on the Israeli village of Netiv Haasara, told the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva on Tuesday, "I need you to stop blaming us." Her son's murder was filmed by his killers. "Is that normal? Shooting a child of 17 six times in the head?" she asked. When Hamas militants entered Taasa's home, they lobbed a grenade at her husband Gil, 46, a firefighter. Gil threw himself on top of it to protect his children. Two of their sons were injured. The youngest, Shay, now nine, had an eye blown out of its socket, permanently blinding that eye. Taasa urged the committee to reflect on what it means to be "not just a child in Gaza, but also a child in Israel living with trauma marking them for life." "We are not criminals," she said, insisting it was Hamas "who are the terrorists, the devils who kill children, women, men, the elderly....We didn't ask for this war." On Tuesday, Israel's military announced it had killed Ahmed Fozi Nazer Muhammad Wadia, the Hamas commander who led the invasion of Netiv Haasara and who was photographed inside Taasa's home. 2024-09-05 00:00:00Full Article
