 Not only the explosion caused a serious injury to an elderly -civilian- but also messed up the celebrations of a family as they had to spend the feast in the hospital waiting for Hamoud to finish his operation.

One of the familiy members, Ahmad Jaber, questioned who is responsible of the safety of civilians and the farmers whose land cultivation is the source of living, wondering despite the strenuous efforts to clear the land, if there is anybody in this government in charge of the safety and well being of the people as they await an end to this series of deadly clusters laying beneath the soil of the lands.
