about

On 16 July 2014, during the military offensive in the Gaza Strip that Israel named “Operation Protective Edge”, a small group of children between the ages of 9-12, brothers and cousins from the Bakr family, went out to play on the fishing beach west of Gaza City. The children were playing near residential buildings and hotels where many foreign journalists were staying. At around 15:30-16:00 Israeli naval forces fired missiles that killed four children of the Bakr family – Ahed (9 years), Zakaria (10 years), Mohammed (11 years), and Ismail (9 years). Six other civilians were also wounded in the missile attack, including four children from the same extended Bakr family.

lyrics

The Bakr Boys

On a sunny day by the beach, they played,
Four young Bakr boys, innocence made
Football and hide and seek, laughter and joy,
Not knowing their fate, not knowing the ploy.

Oh, the cries of Gaza, a tale so bleak,
Innocence lost to the ruthless fleet.
Guns from the sea, their lives it stole,
Four young souls, now lost in the roll.

Sons of fishermen, by ocean's grace,
Now gone from this world, without a trace.
Uncles and aunts, in sorrow, they weep,
For the promises broken, dreams never reap.

Why didn't they see, just boys at play?
Innocence shattered on that fateful day.
No justification for this senseless act
We'll remember their names and that is a fact

In their memory, we'll raise our voice,
For peace and justice, we'll make the choice.
No more children lost to the tide,
In this song for peace, their memory will abide

Ahed,Zakaria,Mohammed and Ismail
