Two elderly men, Khaled al-Shaer and Musa Qishta, were killed by Israeli forces near Rafah while trying to check on their homes amidst ongoing violence in Gaza. They sought refuge in an abandoned UNRWA school after being fired upon by tanks, but were later targeted by a drone, resulting in their deaths. The incident reflects the harrowing conditions in Gaza following renewed military actions, highlighting civilian suffering and the impact of war on families, including the orphaning of a young nephew.
After they reached the school, the Israeli drone caught up with the two men and opened fire directly, mortally wounding them and leaving them to bleed to death in the school courtyard.
While they were crossing the street, the tank saw them and opened heavy fire, but it did not hit them.
The army had fun killing them in cold blood.
Musa Qishta, one of the murdered men, did not have children in his life, a relative told Mondoweiss. He adopted his nephew after his father was killed throughout the war, taking responsibility for his care.
