It was gathered that the girl’s mother did not survive an Israeli airstrike that took place exactly when Muslims in Palestine started celebrating the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
The girl who was named after her mother, Shayma Shiekh al-Eidnow, now is in an incubator at a hospital and has a 50/50 chance of survival. One of the doctors who helped the girl draw the first breath said that ‘what’s happened is a miracle’.
The Israeli army opened artillery fire on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza in response to the rocket fired at Ashkelon, said the office of Israel’s military spokesman. ‘Quiet will be met with quiet,’ the office statement said.
The 20-day war has killed more than 1,030 Palestinians, mainly civilians, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Israel has lost 43 soldiers, as well as two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker killed by rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza, according to the Israeli military
