Hamas has fired indiscriminately at the civilian population in Israel over 2500 rockets in the last 2.5 weeks, one unfortunately hit Khun Narakorn Kittiyoungkul. He is one of the victims of the terrorist organization Hamas, which is committing a double war crime by firing rockets at innocent people trying to go about their daily lives, like Khun Narakorn Kittiyoungkul, while hiding behind Palestinian civilians.”
