A child's pen sketch on graph paper that depicts gunmen, a helicopter, and a tank firing upon unarmed people. While the foot soldiers shoot at a very small figure, possibly a child, the helicopter takes aim at a woman. Illustrations of a small house with a pointed roof, a female figure in a dress or skirt, and a pickup truck with a driver and two passengers are also seen. A note written in Arabic is seen at the top of the page.
