Alt Text

A child's drawing in pencil on graph paper that depicts military-type forces and vehicles attacking a small village, represented by two houses with pointed roofs and a small group of people that includes two women and a child. An illustration of a helicopter painted with a camouflage pattern dominates the page, and it has a visible pilot in the cockpit and a passenger who appears to be sorting or deploying rocket-shaped objects. A soldier in camouflage who is on foot is firing a machine gun at the villagers, and a gunman on horseback stands nearby. Captions in Arabic are seen next to some of the drawings.
