Asma al-Mughair, 16, and her brother Ahmed, 13, died on the roof of
their home in the Tel Sultan district of Rafah. Israeli Defence Force
soldiers and tanks had just occupied the area.

The children were shot by an Israeli sniper - Asma as she took in
laundry, Ahmed as he fed the family pigeons.

Dr Ahmed Abu Nkaria, deputy head of Rafah's tiny hospital, concluded
that both children had been killed by single gunshots to the head.
There was no other sign of trauma, he told the Sydney Morning Herald
the following day.

Reporters gained access to the neigborhood on Saturday and were able
to confirm the assassination. The Herald reports on the details:

"At the Mughairs' three-storey house the children's older brother,
Ali, 26, showed us the spot in the corner of the rooftop where, he
said, Asma had been taking in laundry when a bullet blew the side of
her head off. There was still a thick stain of blood and brain matter
there.

Smear marks showed where, he said, he had dragged her body towards
the stairwell. In the stairwell another pool of blood and brains
marked the spot where Ahmed was killed.

Mr Mughair pointed to the spot from which, he says, the sniper or
snipers shot his siblings. A crude hole was visible in the wall of a
high residential building, a little over 100 metres away.

On the roof, the hole that Mr Mughair indicated as the firing point
gave an excellent view over his rooftop.

Beside the hole lay a discarded cardboard box. The Hebrew writing on
the box read: '20 rounds 7.62 mm ammunition for snipers.'"
