The family members of Shahed Owdatallah considered her a miracle when she was born from IVF in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, in central Gaza, on November 4, 2013. Her parents had waited more than 20 years to conceive.  

But her life was cut short on Tuesday, family members told CNN, when the 10-year-old Palestinian girl was killed in an airstrike on the camp. At least 14 people were killed in the targeted attack, including eight children, according to officials at the local Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the attack was an airstrike and is under review.  

CNN footage filmed at Al-Aqsa hospital in the aftermath of the strike on Tuesday shows fathers cradling the young and lifeless bodies of children, their eyes red and swollen with disbelief. Other kids look on warily. The sound of shrill screams pierces the walls of the hospital.  

Parents told CNN their kids had been playing foosball when the camp was struck.
