Above the frozen pool, a soldier just tore a baby away from the mother, while the little daughter upset, is leaning against her mother’s dress. At the extreme right, soldiers climb up an upturned waste bin and try to force entry to a house and beneath, a mercenary kicks down the door, a second man assisting with a battering ram.
