🔻Meli, the mother of the late Amitai Ibn Shushan, shared her pain about her son who FOUND OUT in Gaza yesterday:

“He was a soldier in training, he was not qualified, he himself was afraid to enter," she said. "Someone needs to explain to me why they let children with no experience inside. They kept explaining to me that they are close to the fence and nothing will happen to them. The last person who spoke to him was my brother Moshe who is in Gaza and was looking for him all the time. He called me on Thursday, he told me, now we are moving to the structure, we can rest."

Israeli journalist Barak Ravid attacks the IDF on CNN: calling the death of the WCK workers a "misidentification" is an understatement. These are events that happen every few days in Gaza.
