You never hear anything about these atrocities in any of the media in the UK. It’s as though I’m living in a totally dystopian world. I feel shock, pain, anger, helplessness and total and utter despair.

just a seven year old who died of fear, I can't even imagine

[ranazaman]

This is a heartbreaking story. For a little 7 year old child to be yelled at by armed soldiers accusing him of throwing stones, and then to be chased, and to drop down dead out of fear and shock is terrible beyond expression in words. Cowards those Israeli soldiers for chasing a child to death. You can hear the pain in Nida Ibrahim's voice.

Imagine dying from fear... not sickness, bullets...but fear. This is gut wrenching

[sadiagee]

It is outrageous that the IDF have that much access to children that they can enter their houses without being stopped and harrass and intimidate them without being stopped!!! How does the U S and the UK think this is ok

[MegaAnzora]

They scared the little boy to death. Tells you everything you need to know about them.

This is absolutely heartbreaking! Love and prayers from Canada 🇨🇦

My heart breaks 💔 the FEAR these little children are Subjected to on a daily basis is heartbreaking 💔

I am Israeli… I received a lot of discrimination even before I knew about the war. But when I found out my heart snapped inside. I live in the USA now, but all the Palestinians experiencing this just… I have no words at this point for the horrible actions of my country❤

May Allah grant him jannah and patients to his parents...

[bizumizu]

What kind of coward army "chasing children?"

[Onlytruthforever]

This was a year ago and some ignorants condemned Hamas on 7/10

[loveontopfan]

The more I learn about the brutal occupation of the Israeli government against the Palestinians, the more disgusted I am towards the Israeli government and my own government for their evil deeds.

[HTownCharlieBrown]

Imagine your children being bombarded with terror, everyday of their lives. So much so, they're now dropping dead from that
This is nothing less than pure evil.

[mikemcbride]

So sad my heart breaks for him and his family. May God welcome him home.

[Ana-rbws]

Absolutely. This is psychological warfare they were carrying out. May Allah SWT grant Jannatul Firdous to the little boy and his family.

[marti]

oh my god....this breaks my heart. this is so unfair. this is just unbelievable. i hate those soldiers!!! they are horrible. And even if they did not harm him direclty, the fact that they insulted and chased a 7yrs old and than he died for fear explains well how evil their actions could have been.

[JujuZA]

Poor child 💔 Keep the faith Palestine 🇵🇸- you are loved!

[aisha._-]

How can you chase a 7 year old, and scare him so much to the point he falls and dies out of shock..? 😭🥺
