A child's graphite and colored pencil drawing on a lined notebook page of an attack being carried out against a small village, represented by several small huts with pointed roofs and about a dozen human figures, including women and children. The houses are on fire after being bombed by two helicopters overhead and two of the villagers lie horizontally on the ground with red markings on their bodies. The attackers are also seen on foot, riding horses and camels, and using a truck with a mounted machine gun. The remaining villagers are fleeing, but two of them have red marks on their bodies, indicating that they have been shot and are bleeding.
