Israeli soldiers man the Gaza-Israel border fence The shooting took place near the Israel-Gaza border fence Two Palestinian boys have been shot dead by Israeli troops in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources say.
The children were estimated to be between eight and 13 years old. They have not yet been identified.
An Israeli army spokesman said the army had shot at several Palestinians near the Gaza-Israel border fence.
He said they were crawling towards the fence near Beit Lahiya, "did not heed repeated calls to stop and planted a suspicious device close to the fence".
A separate spokeswoman said: "We identified hitting three. One was lightly injured and was taken to hospital inside Israel."
The other two were evacuated by Palestinian ambulance workers, but died.
Medical staff at a Gaza hospital said they had been hit in the chest.
They said the children had reportedly been scouring the area near the border fence for scrap metal, Reuters reported.
I’m shocked, shocked that this happened in a society where a “Mickey Mouse” character on TV urges kids to martyr themselves.
No doubt their mothers are very proud.
Let me see if I’ve got this straight.
1. The Paleo-savages are upset about some of 8 to 13 year olds being killed.
2. These same savages would cheer loudly and dance in the streets celebrating and “ululating” if these same 8 to 13 year olds blew themselves up on a bus or in a restaurant.
I guess what they’re upset about, then, is that no Jews died with the Paleo-savage 8 to 13 year olds.
That’s GOT to be the only problem they have with it.
Yes, send boys … spare the “men”.
