A young Israeli boy has sketched his recollection of a deadly Hamas attack on his family home in a heartbreaking hand-drawn picture.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pencil drawing, made by a young child who is currently sheltering in the city of\u00a0Bnei Brak, depicts the attack on his family home in Netivot, six miles from the border with Gaza, on October 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The foreground of the picture shows two balaclava-wearing men, one of whom is pointing through a door with a gun, while the other has his face turned to a brick wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the top-right corner, the boy’s father was drawn trying to escape through a hatch in the ceiling of the building, only to find a Hamas attacker waiting for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The background, meanwhile, appears to show tall buildings in the city being bombarded with rockets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The picture is currently on display at Klil Malhchut Hall, a centre that is currently providing food, clothing and support for people in Netivot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Leon Neal, who took the picture image, told Yahoo News UK: ‘The image was shown to me by one of the organisers at a centre for internally-displaced people.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s a heart-breaking image and the only solace available was when visiting the entertainment centre upstairs where children were laughing and enjoying a puppet show.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Israeli children have been traumatised, or worse, throughout the bloodiest conflict between Israel and Hamas in decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hadas Kalderon, a devastated Israeli woman shared the moment she learned her mother and 12 year-old autistic niece had been murdered by Hamas.<\/p>\n
Recalling Wednesday’s heartbreak, Hadas told DailyMail.com: ‘I saw the soldiers. I told them “Go away. I don’t want to hear your message… your information. Go away” … that is when they told me.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pictured: Grandma Carmela Dan, 80, was taken captive by Hamas and was killed by the terrorists. Kalderon learned of her mother’s death on Wednesday\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pictured: Noya Dan, 12, was killed by Hamas terrorists. The young girl, who was autistic, was a fan of Harry Potter. Heartbroken Kalderon described her niece as a ‘very special smart and clever girl’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kalderon was to discover that her 79 year-old mother Carmela Dan and her 12 year-old niece Noya Dan were among victims of the October 7 slaughter that killed 1,400 Israelis.<\/p>\n
Initially feared abducted and taken to Gaza, the relatives’ bodies were later found close to the border fence and are believed to have been identified through DNA.<\/p>\n
Noya had autism and was a huge Harry Potter fan, with news of the vulnerable youngster’s disappearance shared widely online, including by series author JK Rowling.<\/p>\n
Tragically, Kalderon fears more bad news could be in store. Her 16 year-old daughter Sahar and 11 year-old son Erez, as well as her ex-husband Ofer Kalderon, 50, were also taken by Hamas during a raid on the family’s kibbutz in Nir-Oz.<\/p>\n
They remain missing and are believed to have been abducted.<\/p>\n
Noya, who was autistic, was very close to her grandmother, who helped raise her. She described her niece as a ‘a very special smart and clever girl,’ and started to cry when she shared the fear her niece had before her abduction.<\/p>\n
‘I can hear her voice saying, ‘Mama I’m afraid,’ as she wept.<\/p>\n
‘I love her so much. I miss her so much. Why is this world so cruel? Why? To kill an innocent girl.’<\/p>\n
