Father mourns beheaded child after 'Israeli' airstrike in Gaza
A heartbreaking video has surfaced showing a Palestinian father holding the severed head of his young son, Ahmad al-Najjar, after an 'Israeli' airstrike struck their home in Jabalia al-Balad, North Gaza, at midnight.
In the footage, the grieving father is seen weeping as he gently fixes his son’s hair, crying, “My heart aches for you, you were your grandmother’s favorite.”

This is not the first time a child has been beheaded by an 'Israeli' bombardment in Gaza.
In the past two weeks alone, at least one other similar case has been documented, while many other children have been left in unrecognizable fragments, their bodies torn apart by relentless airstrikes.

In 2024, a widely circulated video showed a man holding the headless body of a child after an 'Israeli' attack on a shelter.
In a different footage, another man was seen holding what appeared to be an intact child’s body—except the brain was missing from the back of the skull.
The ongoing 'Israeli' aggression in Gaza has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties, with children suffering some of the most horrific fates.
