It's just not a celebration without gunfire and couple of innocent deaths.

Reminds me of the Mohammad al Dura shooting. The IDF was blamed when it was impossible for them to have done that shooting from the position they occupied.

Amazing that more arent killed.
I have always wondered about the mindset of these idiots that crank rounds up in the air, not giving a whit that what goes up must come down.

The practice of bringing guns to a celebration in these places strikes me as something that qualifies for the Darwin awards.

The murdering palis have been killin' off their kind for decades and blaming it all on the IDF. Nothing has changed with these terrorists not even the truth.

Even is a lawless area such as Gaza, you can't ignore the laws of gravity.

A 10-year-old Arab girl was killed Monday by celebratory gunfire

This never ceases to amaze me - where exactly do they think the bullets go when they shot them into the air? Somebody needs to buy these clowns some firecrackers. Maybe South of the Border can open a middle east branch [I wonder how many people get that reference :-) ]

You know why you do not see a picture of her? Because they did not have time to dress her up like a suicide bomber.

Of course, at 10 she *is* a bit old for that part but think of all the PR miles they could have gotten out of THAT one....

Has no one there heard of gravity?

One thing I wonder about is the line that celebratory gunfire is an ancient practice in that part of the world, and therefore OK.

But it can't be too ancient a practice, considering mass-produced military weapons were not widely available before mid-century.

So before that, did they go out and whip stones from slings into the air, or shoot arrows straight up, to celebrate weddings, funerals, births, etc?

"Her death was initially blamed on the IDF by PA and UN officials."

I am surprised they changed their minds. Stupid people.

Give them a couple dozen GE mini-guns to fire off in the air...there will be fewer of these reports...

Someone needs to teach these imbeciles to fire their RPGs up in the air.

have seen footage of those looney, towel-heads shooting automatic weapons and am surprised that only now has there been a report of someone being killed.

What goes up, must come down. Do the Palestinians believe they are immune to the laws of gravity?

The girl was killed when one of the bullets struck her in the head.

It will be nice when those idiots learn about gravity, as in, "what goes up, comes down".

But now the Hajj season has started again, oh joy. Remember a few years ago before the "Stoning of the Devil" rock throwing contest near Mecca when a bunch of Muslim pilgrims were trampled/suffocated to death on the narrow bridge leading to the site? That was probably the IDF's fault also, somehow causing all those Muslims to stampede.< /sarcasm>

What stood out to me was the phrase:

UN-sponsored school in Rafiah, in Gaza

But I guess we have them in America as well.
