A man who was seriously wounded by a Hamas rocket Thursday had been shielding children with his own body.

The attack took place at about 10:20 a.m., at one of the communities in the Eshkol region.

Magen David Adom (MDA) crews gave initial treatment to the man, who is 33. He was seriously wounded by shrapnel that struck his chest.

MDA paramedic Oren Vacht, who treated the man before his evacuation to hospital, described him as having been hit in the chest by a shell fragment, “fully conscious and in great pain.”

"Civilians who had been at the scene told us that he did not make it to the protected space in time, and was hurt by shrapnel when he lay down on children who were near him, to protect them with his body,” Vacht said.

Hamas terrorists fired a barrage of rockets Thursday at the Eshkol region, which borders on Gaza. One hit a cowshed, killing several cows, and the other struck a kindergarten in the same community, which was empty because of the summer vacation.

The direct hit in the kindergarten and the incident involving the man who shielded children with his body are apparently two separate incidents, in different communities. Some reports apparently connected the two events by mistake.

To Hamas: Notice the difference in human shields, you vile bass turds.

May The Almighty heal him and make him whole. I pray this in the name of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

No greater love...

Amen.

I’ll add my amen to that too.

I keep remembering the video where the Muslim woman was recorded speaking to somebody while she waited for her son to be done receiving free treatment from a Jewish hospital. She said that life is not precious. For Muslims, life is not precious.

That about sums it up. The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. Life is not precious to the thief. Neither is truth, as his other name is “Father of Lies”.
