Alt Text

A child's pencil drawing on lined paper depicting attacks against people and houses by various military personnel and vehicles. Some of the vehicles seen include a helicopter dropping ordinance, a pickup truck loaded with armed soldiers, a truck with a mounted gun, and a tank. Also seen are soldiers on horseback, on foot, using sniper rifles, and hiding in trees. While the illustration is almost entirely in pencil, the artist has used a red crayon or colored pencil to depict fires on the roofs of the two houses, as well as a bloody wound on a human figure who lies on the ground.
