Grandmother of toddler shot dead by Israeli sniper describes murder
The grandmother of two-year-old girl Laila al-Khatib, who was killed by Israeli sniper fire on Saturday in the occupied West Bank’s Jenin while she was eating at home, shared details about the shooting.
The grandmother said in videos shared by journalists on Instagram: “We were here having dinner and there was gunfire, the windows broke. When the girls heard the gunfire, they started running inside. The girl, her mother was feeding her, she got a bullet from the sniper in her head.”
She said with sorrow: “When we asked the sniper what he gained by killing her, he said, ‘Sorry, it was not intentional.’ May God avenge them because they are child killers. This child had no fault. Why did they kill her?”
The grandmother is keeping the remains of her granddaughter’s skull, which was shattered by the bullet, in the home refrigerator until her burial
