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.

None greater than one whom would lay down one’s life for another or others by attempting to protect.

The text doesn’t say 72 virgins; it says 100, 72 female and 28 boys. It really is a perverted cult.

Rockets were also aimed at a kindergarten. Tiny innocent children. Hamas' favorite kind of target, brave "heroes" that they are. Not.

This brave man risked his own life to save little kids. I sincerely wish him a refuah schleimah, a perfect healing. What a true hero he is! Obama is not fit to kiss the soles of his shoes.

I agree. This fellow is a real man, whereas Obama is a real puke.
