Tragedy in south: Daniel didn’t reach shelter in time

4-year-old Daniel Tregerman was killed while running for shelter Parents Gila and Doron only had time to get their two youngest children inside shelter before a mortar fired from UNRWA facility in Gaza killed Daniel.

Four-year-old Daniel Tregerman became on Friday afternoon, the first child casualty in Israel since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge when a mortar fired from Gaza struck his kibbutz in the Sha’ar HaNegev Regional Council, and took his life.

Tregerman’s parents Gila and Doron, had left their home in the south due to constant rocket fire from Gaza, but decided to return just a few days ago partly on the promise of security officials, including Chief of Staff Benny Gantz who said that residents of the south would be safe.

Then the ceasefire with Hamas collapsed into violence and rocket fire on Tuesday and the Tregerman family found themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The whole Tregerman family was at home when the mortar was fired on Friday. The children played and the parents made plans to leave the kibbutz later in the day.
