| Details of the last hours: |
| Suzanne Hijo, Iman's mother, hastened on to the street with her three children, Dina (6 years), Mahmoud (18 months), and Iman. She was trying to escape a sudden Israeli attack on the grandmother's house. A tank shell ripped through the wall next to the front gate. Small fragments of shrapnel sliced into Iman's body, killing her almost instantly. Her mother, brother, and sister were severely wounded. "There was blood everywhere here," said Rocha Hijo, Iman's 15-year-old aunt, scuffing her foot on the floor. The shell's fragments went through Iman's back and dispersed parts of her body in the street and on the walls of the house. |
| Belongings: |
| Suzanne Hijo said, "Until now, her toys are still all in place...
Her lollipop, her bed, her clothes - all are in the same place." |
