"The Reuters news agency cited the children's uncle as saying the two brothers, Fadi and Goma, were gathering firewood to help their wheelchair-bound father east of southern Gaza's Khan Younis neighborhood at the time of the attack. Staff at Nasser Hospital were cited by the Associated Press news agency as saying the drone struck close to a school sheltering displaced people in the town of Beni Suhaila in Khan Younis. Conflicting reports regarding their age suggested they were between 8 and 12 years old."
""They are children... what did they do? They do not have missiles or bombs, they went to gather wood for their father so he can start a fire," Reuters quoted their uncle Mohamed Abu Assi as saying as their funeral took place. The children's father wept over the body of one of his boys as his white shroud was peeled back to reveal his face, Reuters reported."
An Israeli drone strike near Beni Suhaila east of Khan Younis killed two boys, Fadi and Goma, while they gathered firewood for their wheelchair-bound father. Their ages were reported between eight and twelve. The strike occurred close to a school sheltering displaced people. The boys’ father wept over one son's body. The Israeli military did not immediately comment. Since the October 10 ceasefire, Gazan health authorities report over 354 Palestinians killed in the enclave. Many deaths have occurred when forces shoot at people accused of crossing the ceasefire 'yellow line.' The IDF said troops identified two suspects who crossed that line.
