Adnan Ali Al Mekdad
At about 3 pm on Thursday, after the death of Bashir, Sharon made some worrying moves. There were foreign men surrounding the region. Some people found out about this and fled. My mother saw the armed men, made them some tea and told them she was Lebanese. They told her that they were only after the Palestinians, and that, being Lebanese, she could stay in the area, no one would bother her, she just had to keep her ID papers with her.
We were looking for family members, when I saw her hanging from a tree. After that we set about gathering the corpses and burying them.
Mr Adnan Ali Al Mekdad lost his father, his mother and more than forty members of his extended family.
