In Gaza: Killed by Israel, Eaten by Dogs
By Ola Attallah Gaza City

"Oh, God! I have never seen such a terrible scene," cried Kayed Abu
Aukal.
The emergency doctor could not believe himself seeing the remains of what
was days back Shahd, a full-fleshed 4-year-old Palestinian girl.
She died when an Israeli shell was fired at the backyard of her home in
the Jabalya refugee camp northern Gaza strip, where she was playing.
When her parents attempted to rush to the rescue of their kid, who fell
to the ground amid a pool of her blood, rains of Israeli bullets kept them a
distance.
For the next five days Shahd's which was left lying in the open left for
dogs to tear out.
"The dogs did leave one single part of the poor baby's body intact," said
a tearful Abu Aukal.
"We have seen heart-breaking scenes over the past 18 days. We picked up
children whose bodies were torn or burnt, but nothing like this."
For five days Shahd's brother, Matar, and cousin, Mohamed, tried in vain
to reach her body. They were fired at by the Israeli occupation forces every
time.
Seeing the body of the little angel torn to piece by the assaulting dogs,
the two made one final attempt, and it was their last.
They were showered by Israeli bullets before they could reach Shahd's
body, joining a long list of more than 920 Palestinians killed by Israel since
December 27.
Deliberate
Omran Zayda, a young neighbor, said the Israelis knew very well what they
were doing.
"They chased her family and prevented them from reaching to her body,
knowing that the dogs would eat it," he said.
"They are not just killing our children, they are intentionally doing so
in the most heinous and inhuman ways."
Zayda said words, and even cameras, can not describe the horrific scene.
"You can never imagine what the dogs have done to her innocent body," he
said, fighting back his tears.
Many Palestinians insist Shahd was not the first or only such case.
In Jabalya, when Abd Rabu's family was trying to bury three of its dead,
the Israeli forces started firing at them, witnesses said.
They then released their dogs at the bodies, deserted by mourners who
sought shelter from the Israeli gunfire, they added.
"What happened was awful and unthinkable," Saad Abd Rabu, the deceased
uncle, told IOL.
"Our sons died before our eyes and we were even prevented from burying
them," he cried.
"The Israelis just released their dogs at their bodies, as even they have
not done enough."
