Tahrir Husni al-Arian, nine-months pregnant, could see pieces of her flesh falling to the ground as an Israeli combat dog savaged her thigh.

The Palestinian mother of three was at home with her husband and children in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip when the Israeli military invaded al-Manara, their neighbourhood. It was 24 October 2024.

The dog attack, which lasted about 10 minutes, left Arian in unbearable pain and caused complications that would last for months, ultimately leading to the loss of her newborn.

Take a moment and imagine yourself in this situation. It’s an absolutely terrifying nightmare. Yet another reason to be disgusted by Israel’s amoral behavior.

After the attack, the soldiers turned Arian’s apartment into a military base. They brought in her neighbours, separated the men from the women, and interrogated them. Some of the men, including Arian’s husband, were detained. "I was still lying on the bathroom floor, unable to move my injured leg and frozen with shock and fear.”

Before they left, at around 2:30am the soldiers warned them to not tell anyone what had happened.

Generally, "lost the baby" means miscarriage. This baby was actually born first and then died.
