Israeli attack on journalists’ car also killed teenage cyclist delivering food to elderly
Israel’s deadly attack on the car of Al Jazeera staff has also killed Khaled Saed al-Shawa, a 17-year-old riding a bicycle “to do good”.
Speaking to Al Jazeera over the phone, his mother said the teenager was carrying food to an elderly man in the Shati refugee camp when the drone strike hit the nearby vehicle that killed Al Jazeera’s Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami al-Rifi.
“The elderly man and his injured son did not have any relatives, and my son was trying to do good with them and go with his bag that appeared in the video circulating to transport food to this elderly man and his son,” Khaled’s mother said.
“He was a passerby and did not do anything for them. Why did they kill him?”
She went on to call for the international community to stop the killing of innocent children in Gaza.
