Two French children were killed in the Gaza Strip on the night of October 23 to 24. Their grandmother, who remained in France, testifies in franceinfo 19/20.
It was through a voice message left by her daughter that Julie Riveaux learned of the death of two of her grandchildren in Gaza. Both French, they were killed on the night of October 23 to 24. They were victims of an Israeli bombardment. Their 2-year-old little brother was seriously injured in the pelvis and leg. “It’s horror, it’s incomprehensible. It is beyond all feeling. At the same time, thinking about my daughter, how devastated she must be“, deplores the grandmother. Julie’s daughter, Yasmine, has lived for seven years in the Palestinian enclave with her three children. She is suspected of having financed and provided logistical support to jihadists via a humanitarian association. She was placed under judicial supervision in 2014.
Messages from his daughter
However, she decided to flee France in 2016. Since then, she has been the subject of an international warrant. “Every day I sent him written messages. She usually responded with voice messages“, explains Julie Riveaux. In these messages, her daughter confided her fear to her as the bombings fell on Gaza.
