As the World Cup begins, a Palestinian child who lost both legs in Gaza still runs after his football between tents, refusing to let Israel take away his dream.
Yet amid genocide, displacement, and unimaginable loss, this child continues to chase the game he loves, carrying a dream Israel failed to destroy.
According to UNRWA and humanitarian organizations, Gaza is home to the largest cohort of child amputees in modern history, thousands of children forced to rebuild their lives after losing limbs, homes, and futures.
A very dangerous new nightmare we are living in Gaza City, and no one in the world is paying attention to it.
Days ago, the Israeli army installed huge military cranes, each about 30 meters tall, on the eastern areas it controls. These cranes are equipped with machine guns and cameras, and they fire randomly and almost continuously at tents, streets, and exposed neighborhoods.
Gaza City is extremely narrow, only 10 kilometers wide. A single crane at that height is enough to expose the entire city from east to west. Every street, every square, every tent, every house has become completely exposed. There is no place to hide, and not a single moment of safety.
In just the past two days, three people were killed by fire from these cranes. One of them was sitting quietly with his father in a small café, trying to breathe for a few minutes. Hours later, a 5year old girl was killed while playing near her home.
These cranes have turned the entire city into an open field. The latest military technologies are directed at civilians. We have become an open testing ground for their new weapons. The horror is not just in the sound… it is the constant feeling of being an exposed target at all times, where even children cannot run in the street without fear.
When I was 6 years old, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys on us in Lebanon.
New report reveals that Israel left behind bombs disguised as toys in Gaza.
Today, a cluster bomb shaped like a small football found in South Lebanon.
But keep talking about Israel not targeting children.
Israel flattened Beirut in 1982.
No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then.
Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.
Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”.
They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons.
Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade.
Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick.
Own it.

What Israel is doing in Lebanon is unambiguously genocidal against Shias. And it is unambiguously an attempt to reoccupy and even annex a huge part of the country. It’s infuriating that we’re pretending that there’s a ceasefire. And even more infuriating that Western media continues to turn a blind eye to Israel’s endless colonial expansion and insatiable hunger for Arab land.
Remember how everyone rushed to use his photo, of his walking toward an IDF tank to advocate for the lives of his patients? Rushed to plaster it everywhere, rushed to make AI edits, art, whatever. That was in December 2024.
How often is he mentioned today? He is alive, he is being tortured and slowly killed - he, alongside every Palestinian hostage, must be freed.

Throughout the war on Lebanon, we keep hearing that the state is not doing anything — that it is standing idly by as Israel devastates the land and its people.
But that's far from the truth.
Other than its outright collaboration with the enemy against this land's rightful and righteous resistance, the state is doing what it is does best: protecting private capital at the expense of the displaced.
Earlier today, security forces were sent to dismantle the tents of displaced people in Biel.
I was given access to Planet Labs satellite imagery (2–3-meter resolution) from a Faytuks Network Discord geolocator, dated March of 2026. If you have any inquiries on a certain site you wish to see in the Gaza strip, reply with coordinates, and a screenshot will be given.

They all have lost both parents. Killed by Israel
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
An Israeli soldier filmed this clip using a drone camera while proudly boasting about the destruction of all homes in Gaza.
A moment the world must never forget.
