Hizb'allah rocket crews managed to murder a young Israeli Arab mother and her five-year-old son in yet another barrage on northern Israel Thursday. The child's three-year-old brother was seriously wounded in the attack.

Israeli Arab residents of northern Israel have shared nearly equally with their Jewish neighbors in the suffering being doled out by Hizb'allah.

An Arab paramedic who arrived at the scene of Thursday's attack gave Ynet his chilling account of the scene:

"The situation was very difficult. When I arrived there was nothing left to do and there was no room for resuscitation. It's an extremely grave incident. To see a child in such a condition is horror."

The brother of the childrens' father, who was sitting on the top floor of the house when the rocket hit, added:

"I heard the blast. I immediately went downstairs, I heard crying from the backyard and hurried there. I saw their little boy dead, he couldn?t have been helped anymore. I heard crying and terrible screams. It was just a terrible sight. It's very difficult to see your family's bodies lying there like that."

More than 90 rockets hit communities across northern Israel during the first half of the day Thursday. One man suffered light shrapnel wounds in Tiberias. Another three were treated for shock.
