The details of the last hours:

Martyr Ahmad, Khaled Monzer Rayan, his cousin, and Isma`il Abu Sultan, their friend, were passing by Al-Mahkama Street at the camp; meanwhile, north Gaza Strip was under an Israeli attack.

The three children bought biscuits from a shop. As they started eating the biscuits, a missile was hurled on them from a reconnaissance warplane. Ahmed and Ismail died immediately after the missile turned them into torn-off limbs. Kaled survived but bleeded to death. Because of the lack of facilities at the hospital, the doctors couldn’t rescue him.

It’s mentioned that these three children were close friends. Two of them were studying at the same class while the third was one year younger, so the formers decided to fail so that they could be all in one class. They were academically brilliant but they wanted to remain with each other. Also, destiny refused to part them from each other, for they all died at the same time.
