GAZA
STRIP, November 30 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Mohammad Al
Durra, the little boy who was killed by the Israeli occupation gunfire
at the beginning of the Palestinian Intifada, has been resurrected by
name.
His
mother, Amal gave birth to a little boy on Friday, November 29 to a baby
boy whom she named Mohammad Al Durra.
Speaking
to Agence France-Presse (AFP), his father Jamal Al Durra said: “My son
Mohammad did not die. He’s back again despite the crimes of the
Israeli occupation.”
He
added that his son came back on the last Friday in the month of Ramadan
and on the International Quds Day. “The Intifada will continue,”
said Al Durra.
Jamal
now has 7 children, five boys and two girls, the eldest is Eyad, aged 16
and the youngest is the new born Mohammad.
Just
moments after France 2 Talal Abu Rahma pictured Al-Durrah September 30,
2000, the 12-year-old boy was shot dead by Israeli occupation soldiers,
to become a new martyr for the Palestinian cause.
For
45 minutes, Muhammad's father tried in vain to shield him from Israeli
gunfire as they crouched against a concrete wall near Netzarim in the
Gaza Strip, BBC’s online news service reported after the tragic event.
The
whole scene was caught on camera by France 2 cameraman Abu Rahma, and
was played repeatedly on world televisions.
The
footage shows the boy's father Jamal al-Durrah waving desperately to
Israeli forces, shouting: "Don't shoot". But the terrified boy
is hit by four bullets, and collapses in his father's arms and finally
slumps across his wounded father's lap.
An
ambulance driver who tried to rescue the boy and his father was also
killed, and a second ambulance driver was wounded.
The
Israeli occupation army admitted, after Abu Rahma’s video footage
triggered world indignation, that the shots which killed Muhammad had
been fired by its troops, and apologized for his murder.
Abu
Rahma’s video footage showed that not only were the boy and his father
completely unarmed, but that they were not even part of the rioting, BBC
said.
The
disturbing footage, which shocked the entire world, was played
throughout the Middle East, and on all major U.S. television networks.
A
photo still from the video ran on the front page of The New York
Times.
The
British daily newspaper, The Independent, described it as
"an image that will haunt the world as painfully and
powerfully" as any of those from the Palestinian Intifada
