Israel has bombed and killed Dana Abu Ma‘rouf, a seven-year-old little Palestinian girl in Gaza, as she played outside, in the Muwasi ‘safe zone’, with her young friends. The friends, sisters five-year-old Hiba and seven-year-old Maryam Abu Jalal, were wounded in the same attack. The bombing was far from Israel’s so-called ‘security’ ‘yellow zone’.

The occupation military released drone footage of the bombing:

قبل قليل، اخترقت إسرائيل اتفاقية وقف إطلاق النار واغتالت الطفلة دانا أبو معروف عندما كانت تلعب مع صديقاتها في مواصي خانيونس، وادعت إسرائيل أنها هاجمت “إرهابيًا يستعد لتنفيذ هجوم قريب”.
وأصيبت الطفلتان الشقيقتان هبة ومريم أبو جلال، البالغان من العمر 5 و7 سنوات.

Israel claimed that the footage showed it bombing “a terrorist preparing an imminent attack”.

Dana Abu Ma’rouf’s family released video showing her before burial. X appears to be preventing the post being embedded, so the clip is shown below:

Israeli anti-genocide activist Yoel H, who posted the clip, said:

One of those killed today in the humanitarian bombings is the girl Dana from Arraba. Dana was bombed in a tent of displaced people in the ‘safe zone’ Muwasi. The army has no reason to continue committing crimes and bombing displaced children in tents. Truly, there is none.

The UK ‘mainstream’ media have ignored Dana’s killing, just as they have ignored most of Israel’s 400+ murders in Gaza during the ‘ceasefire’.
