The IDF is reporting that the Hamas mortar that
killed 4-year-old Daniel Tragerman today was fired from near an UNRWA school being
used as a shelter in Gaza. The UN is
calling for an investigation into “war crimes”?
Perhaps it is the UN who should be investigated for war crimes.
Daniel Tregerman, a 4-year-old
boy was killed in a Gaza mortar attack on Israel late on Friday afternoon as he
played in the living room of his family home, local media reported. The rocket struck a nearby car in the
southern Sha’ar Hanegev region critically injuring the boy with shrapnel who
later died of his wounds. According to
Israeli security officials cited by Israel’s Ynet News, the projectile was fired
from the grounds of a school run by UNRWA in the Shejajiah neighborhood in Gaza
City. Magen David Adom paramedics
attempted to perform CPR on the child, but their efforts failed. Five others
were lightly wounded in the attack. Police
spokesman Micky Rosenfeld tweeted, “Sadly a 4 year old child dies from his
wounds after mortar strike in the negev region. Damage caused to buildings and
cars in area.”
According to Channel 10, Magen
David Adom rescue services rushed the boy to hospital, listing him in grave
condition. A short time later, the boy was pronounced dead.
The incident occurred in a
kibbutz in the Sha’ar Hanegev regional council. According to Channel 2,
Palestinians in Gaza fired a barrage of mortars at the kibbutz, one of which
exploded in a location near where the boy, who was later identified as Daniel
Tregerman, was standing. Daniel was the oldest son in the family. His brother
survived. Sirens wailed only very shortly before the mortar shell struck
outside the Tragerman family home at the kibbutz, and his parents — Doron and
Gila — were unable to get their son Daniel into their protected room in time.
He was killed by shrapnel from the explosion that smashed into the house.
A mortar shell had exploded
near a kibbutz buildings, and as a result the family had planned to go to her
parents in Kiryat Ono. “Suitcases were ready ahead of time. Just before the
fatal explosion I went to take the carrier of Uri (her baby) and I met my
neighbor… We did not manage to pick up
the kids and get to shelter. ” “Daniel
was disciplined and was always quick to get to shelter. Once the alarm sounds,
he always knew what to do and where to go.
Always. When everyone would come
to the shelter, Daniel would say, ‘Now we are all safe.’” “He was a pretty smart kid and sensitive. So
sweet.”
I Saw the Shrapnel Throw Daniel to the Floor”
One day after they brought
their four-year-old son to rest, Brought to rest a day after the four-year-old
son, the parents of Daniel Tregerman told the media of the great pain and
difficult images that are enough for a lifetime. "I covered Daniel and we
ran away from the hell. We sincerely wish to live in Nahal Oz, but terrible
things happened there, we cannot go back to that place," they said,
weeping.
Three days after Daniel
Tregerman was killed by a mortar at his home in Nahal Oz, his parents, Doron
and Gila spoke to the media about the horrific moment. "Within seconds you
realize it's not near the fence or in an open are, but really on you,” the
father said in a trembling voice.
"Everything happened so
fast, three seconds after the alarm I realized that it fell right through the
walls here," continued Doron Tregerman. "I saw the shrapnel flying in
front of me and throw Daniel to the floor, I realize that this thing came into
our home, I turned around to our daughter Yuval, I took her and threw her to
her mother in the shelter. Gila wanted wanted to call someone, but I knew there
was no need to call someone to come.”
"I was next to Daniel a
second or two before I covered him," says the grieving father. "I
immediately ran to the shelter and took Gila and just two kids and we ran from
this hell when we leave Daniel behind. It was like a movie, since then we are
trying to get through it day by day, step by step.”
"The most powerful memory
I have left of Daniel is at the last moment that I looked at him, just as the
siren went off,” recalled his mother, Gila. "He left the tent he was
playing in the living room and I told
him to run to the shelter but he has this frozen look in his eyes.”
"We Want to Live in Nahal
Oz, But We Cannot Go Back to That Place"
At the height of Operation
Protective Edge, the Tregerman family left Kibbutz Nahal Oz, and returned after
the first cease-fire declaration. On the
day that Daniel was killed by a mortar shell, the parents intended to leave
again with their children, because of the danger of fire from Gaza.
"We very much want to
live in Nahal Oz," added Gila. "We planned to build our home there,
but we cannot go back to that place. Shocking things happened there, really
terrible." Doron added: "You never think it will happen to you. We
really hope there will be peace and Daniel will be the last casualty."
President Rivlin: "Daniel
is Everyone’s Child, You Paid In Blood Which Has No Price”
Yesterday, hundreds attended
the funeral of Daniel Tregerman who was buried in the Chevel Shalom cemetery in
the Eshkol Regional Council. President
Reuven Rivlin eulogized the late Daniel: "We were very afraid of this
moment. We've seen pictures of destroyed
children's homes and kindergartens with abandoned toys. We hoped it would end with this but we were
wrong. We bury the child for whose sake
we fight, the boy who paid the heaviest price of all for life here in our
country, our homeland.”
In an attempt to comfort the
bereaved parents the President said, "Daniel is everyone’s child. You paid in blood, which has no price, you
are protecting the State of Israel with your bodies. No one has the right to
require you to stay here, but we can assure you that you are not alone. The
entire country is embracing you.”
Would the United Nations do
something about it?
Would Hussein Obama do
something about it?
Would the European Union do
something about it?
Would the ICC do something
about it?
I doubt it….nobody would do
something about it…only the State of Israel…
Since we know where the rocket
came from, regardless of being next to a UN compound, we should retaliate
immediately and bomb the hell out of the place…regardless of collateral damage…so
what, as far as the international opinion is concerned…with Israel is
damn-if-you-do or damn-if-you-don’t…as usual throughout time…
MAY THE LORD OPEN THE GATES OF HEAVEN FOR DANIEL...SOLDIER OF ISRAEL!!!
