Gazan families mourn children killed during IDF’s hostage rescue

Gaza's Health Ministry says at least 64 children were killed by Israeli fire during the June 8 raid to rescue four hostages being held by Hamas.

TEL AVIV — As the sounds of gunfire drew nearer, Saher Esleih crouched in a corner and cradled her 4-year-old son, Tawfiq. 

“I was holding him, and he was shivering and scared,” she told NBC News. “He kept asking me, ‘When will they finish?’” 

Suddenly, she said, the room plunged into darkness and debris began to fall from the ceiling. Esleih began calling out to other relatives hiding in the room, each in turn answering that they were safe.

It was only then that she realized there was blood on her son’s face. 

“I saw that part of his brain was out,” Esleih, 37, said.
