Moathe Abu Rabeeh (2nd R), a 13-year-old Palestinian boy who lost his leg during the three-week offensive Israel launched last year, is reflected in a mirror as he attends a physiotherapy session at al-Salama Association in Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip December 22, 2009. December 27 marks one year since the start of a three-week offensive Israel launched in Gaza during which more than 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed. Israel launched the offensive with the declared aim of stopping Palestinian rocket fire on southern Israel.
