Going out late at night with the kids, especially in the last days of Ramadan, is a thing.
And it's pretty common.
The kids got what we know as munchkins, fried like donut holes.
They saved them in a bag for later.
The parents took them to the mall to buy clothes for the Eid festival, which is coming in a few days to mark the end of Ramadan.
It was a really happy night, apparently.
And then they turned around and went home.
Khaled is 11 and a sixth grader.
His little brother Mustafa is eight.
He seemed to be still in shock.
They both did.
And they told the story of how this happened as best they could.
The older boy, Khaled, described being beaten by Israeli soldiers.
Finally, they were told that they could head towards a Palestinian ambulance.
As they were walking by, one of the Israeli officers opened the front door of the car, and they looked and saw their parents' bodies.
The West Bank is just an incredibly dangerous place to be a Palestinian right now.
The father who was killed...
was actually pretty confident about his ability to keep his family safe and to be safe himself.
He spoke fluent Hebrew from his time working in construction in Israel, and he considered himself a fairly smooth talker, and he knew that he was not a threat and posed no threat.
And so he believed that even if he came into contact or was stopped by Israeli soldiers, that he'd be able to talk his way out of trouble.
