Late in the evening of April 13, Mohammed al-Hassouni and his family were sleeping in their home in southern Israel, when he was awoken by the sounds of sirens and explosions.
Iran was launching a massive strike against an airbase near the family's village. Al-Hassouni rushed his children to the car. As he tried to load them in, a fragment of a missile fell near the house with a thud. Terrified, his 7-year-old daughter Amina ran back inside.
Moments later another missile fragment crashed through the roof and fell on her.
Today, Amina remains in intensive care in a coma, al-Hassouni says. He doesn't think she'll wake up.
Amina was the sole Israeli civilian critically injured by Iran's attack, but her wounding wasn't entirely by chance.
