On June 15, Iranian missiles struck the city of Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv where the family was staying.
Israel struck first, provoking a retaliatory strike. Israel is responsible for this child's death.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Now let’s talk about the 335 bullets fired into Hind Rajab’s body from an Israeli tank, after she had called for help, spending hours surrounded by the bodies of her entire murdered family.
Or the countless Palestinian children being purposely starved, displaced, bombed, and shot constantly as IDF goons genocide and laugh about and mock their victims.
That's fine. Iran didn't fire missiles at Israel because of what they're doing to Palestinians, though.
These articles are supposed to create sympathy for Israel or sth?
And to villainize Iran.
WE NEED TO JUST STOP KILLING EACH OTHER!
One more child among the thousands died because of Israel.
Actually 3 more children as her two cousins were also killed in the bombing.
This is just as sad as thousands of kids who died in Palestine or those who witnessed their loved ones torn to pieces right in front of their eyes. No more, no less.
Sad, I hope they are angry at the Israeli colonial project for having started another war.
Unfortunately personally knowing far too many Ukranian/Israeli dual citizens, I highly doubt it. They see Israel as the victim without a shred of self awareness.
Huh, a crossover episode.
What are we supposed to do with news like this? "Adults start senseless war, children suffer", paste it in gothic letters across ad ribbons and billboards. People look at those, sometimes. Say "stand up". Say "shout", at foreign tyrants who will never hear it and can't imagine what it would even mean to care.
Israel shouldn't have started the war
A tragic story that should be added to piles of child tragedy in Palestine as well as the other affected countries from these conflicts. Speaking of Palestine, I can't see it mentioned at all on the front page of rferl.org.
