Are we allowed to hope that both sides lose?
"I am so angry," says Kasem Abu al-Hija, 67.
On Saturday, four of his family members were killed when an Iranian missile struck their home in northern Israel, collapsing the concrete building on top of them.
Books, clothes, children's toys and body parts were blown into the road, witnesses say.
The whole street was plunged into darkness when the missile hit. Rescuers managed to locate their bodies by following trails of blood.
The four victims were named as Kasem's daughter Manar Khatib, 45, his two granddaughters, Shada, 20 and Hala, 13, and their aunt, Manal Khatib, 41.
They had managed to make it to the two reinforced safe rooms in the house that they shared - but the ballistic missile hit it directly.
They lived in Tamra, an Arab-majority town in northern Israel.
Minutes after their deaths, a video emerged online. It showed the Iranian missiles streaking through the sky overhead. As they descend on Tamra, a voice can be heard shouting, in Hebrew: "On the village, on the village."
"May your village burn," a group of others then say, singing, whooping and clapping.
