Name of martyr: Bilal Isa Al-Batran. |
| Age: 8 years old. |
| Date of murder: Friday , sunset time; January 16, 2009. |
| Place of murder: Their house at Al-Burayj R.C., middle of Gaza Strip. |
| Weapon used: A (Fire 2) Rocket, weighing 45 kg., capable of penetrating 8 cm. iron objects, fired at people. |
| Details of the last hours: Through their window, Bilal and his younger brother were pointing at Israeli aircraft. Suddenly, the aircraft aimed at the window through which the kids were looking and bombed the house, killing the kids, shattering their bodies on the tree branches outside their house. It took their family three days to pick up the torn bodies of the two kids. The mother (Manal, 35 years), the eldest daughter (Islam, 14 years), and the twin (Ihsan and Iman, 11 years) fell martyrs when they were in a hurry packing their suitcases to go to the house of their grandpa, Hassan Al-Sha`rawi who lives in the same camp, for fear that they may be endangered under the Israeli offensive assault. In the meanwhile, baby `Abdel-Hady was in the reception hall, to the west south of the apartment, playing with his toys. When he saw his father starting to perform maghrib (sunset) prayer in Al-masjid Al-Kabir mosque, the baby crawled descending five stairs. The father had to carry the baby in order to take him to his mother. But before he took one step into the room, a missile bombarded the house killing all its inhabitants, save the father and his baby. The mother and the rest of her children were dead. |
