Our troops saw the same thing in Afghanistan.
When I was supposed to deploy in 2012 (got assigned to rear det instead, thanks Captain. Ya jerk) they told us to not let kids get close, to try to back off and avoid “just in case”.
In the gulf war my platoon sergeant told us to not let any children near us or our equipment. We were not to give candy or food to children. He told us that in Nam the VC would strap bombs to children and when they when up to GIs that they would be detonated. Told us the same may happen to us in Iraq. We did as told. I had a Bedouin kids try to get close. No expectation of an incident but I wanted to go home in one piece. Shooed them off with a wave of the rifle. Still here.
This is one of the most disturbing things I’ve read in a long time, although it’s not to say I’m surprised.
🙏🙏🙏 This morning, I felt strongly to pray for Israel.
They are of their father satan.
The terrorists employ the mentally challenged as well.
The Hamas leaders do not value life...only death, and the kids who are being used are their subjects’ children. The kids who are strapped to the suicide bombs are NOT their own kids...
