Ghadir Mokheimer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghadir Mokheimer was a Palestinian girl. On October 12, 2004, at the age of 10, she was hit in the chest by Israel Defense Force gunfire. Critically wounded, she died the following day.
The IDF claimed it was firing back at the source of shells targeting its troops. Some sources, including CNN which cited locals, reported she was inside her UNRWA-run school in the city/refugee camp of Khan Yunis when she was shot.
