#STORY_OF_A_BOY_FROM_GAZA #Must_Read October 9, 2014 - In Memory of Sohail Tafesh, age 25 years old. RIP sweet young man. No photo available. I believe he was actually 25 years old - his whole life ahead of him. Dated October 10, 2014 0 A Palestinian youth on Friday died of injuries sustained during Israels recent seven-week military onslaught on the Gaza Strip, according to a Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman. Sohail Tafesh, 25, from the eastern Gaza City neighborhood of Shujaya succumbed to his wounds at a Jerusalem hospital on Friday, Ashraf al-Qodra told Anadolu Agency. The latest fatality brings the number of Palestinians killed during 51 days of fierce Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip – which finally ended in late August – to 2,165. More than 570 Palestinian children were killed and thousands injured during the onslaught, according to al-Qodra. Over the same period, at least 73 Israelis – 68 soldiers and five civilians – were killed by Palestinian fighters or rocket fire, according to Israeli figures. The Israeli offensive, which began on July 7 with the stated aim of halting rocket fire from Gaza, ended with an August 26 cease-fire agreement between Israel and Palestinian resistance factions.
