A Palestinian ambulance worker made a gruesome discovery when the bloody sheet was lifted: The corpse on the stretcher was his own mother, killed by an Israeli air strike on Wednesday in central Gaza. “Oh God, I swear — she’s my mother. I didn’t know it was her,” Abed Bardini sobbed as he leaned over his mother, Samira, cradling her head in his arms. Fellow Red Crescent medics tried to console him.
