Siraj, 10, stalked by an Israeli quadcopter

The Australian Broadcasting Company profiled 10-year-old Siraj Mohamed, living in a tent with his parents. They reported:

“[H]is days are filled with fear. At times it’s overwhelming, like the night he was stalked by a quadcopter while going to the bathroom. They look like recreational drones but can reportedly have bombs or guns attached. There are multiple reports of them firing at children.

“‘I stood still, I looked at the ground, I saw the red and blue lights,’ Siraj recalls. ‘Then I held the flashlight, pointed into the ground and ran back to the tent.’

“We asked the IDF about their use of quadcopters but they didn’t respond.

“That night changed Siraj, his mother Halima says. He refused to go back to his own bed. He curled up next to her and held her hair while he slept.”
