Mohammad Abdul Zinati was walking home from school through the rubble of Salah Khalaf Street, in northern Gaza City, when he stopped at a supermarket where a group of classmates and friends had gathered.

Shortly before 3:30pm, an explosion tore through the air. Along with several others, Mohammad rushed into the street to see what had happened.

When the smoke and dust cleared, they saw a man lying bleeding on the dusty road. He was badly wounded, but still alive. The man was calling for help, and Mohammad ran towards him.

He did not hear the shouts of his cousin, who had spotted an approaching Israeli drone. Within seconds, the drone released a glide bomb, designed to allow operators to identify and strike targets with a high degree of accuracy.

The munition plunged towards the street, detonating just metres from the teenager. Mohammad did not have time to react before a second blast killed him.
