The child's mother, Rasha, lost her daughter as well as her husband in a moment and has three other children to care for. The first Israeli strike hit the Palestine Tower, with smoke pouring from the seventh floor while people, seeking shelter, were menaced by Israeli reconnaissance drones overhead.

More than a quarter of them fell short, inside Gaza. As at 6pm, 6 August, rocket-fire launched from Gaza had resulted in damage to one home in Israel.
