Following yesterday's failed cease-fire, an Israeli naval gunboat has reportedly struck seven children near the port in Gaza, killing at least four. One remains in critical condition. Moments earlier, the kids had been playing soccer with a reporter from NBC, who witnessed the attack firsthand. Dozens of other journalists were nearby.

that’s a shame. Changes nothing.
Every Hamas rocket that is destroyed before it hits, needs to have an accompanying report stating that if it had landed would have killed or maimed Israelis’ and state the number.
It must have been a coincidence that the NBC reporter was there.
How long before we find out they are Iraqi Kurds killed 13 years ago by Saddam. I beleive nothing that comes out of the Middle East. Well, unless Oliver North says it’s so.
What rational parent would allow their children out of the house to play when missiles are flying?
Guess they missed the Muzzie apologist at NBC.
Yep, the reporters were right there to ride herd on the Israelis, and make sure they weren’t doing anything wrong.
Never mind the thousands of missiles sent into Israel with close-ups of damage and sobbing parents.
Tell us brain-trusts, was Israel sending in munitions before the recent rocket attacks? Then whose fault is it that these kids died?
It is a shame. But, I remember the Palestinian women ululating and handing out candy on 9/11. It's hard to forget.
I’ll bet this gets massive play in the U.S. media for years to come.
Oh... wait. There were DOZENS of JOURNALISTS nearby.
What were they doing there ?
Do they have picture that was photshop from Syria crisis probably
Need to use bigger shells so they can pick up the “journalists,” too.
The Israeli military has said it provides evacuation warnings for targeted areas to minimize civilian deaths, but according to NBC foreign correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin, “They don’t take those warnings seriously”
Well... maybe they should have.
I don’t know the circumstances here but I have observed over many years the phenomenon of Arabs (a) gathering at scenes of violence rather than running from them, (b) intentionally putting children into dangerous situations, and (c) failing, whether intentionally or otherwise, to take commonsense precautions to avoid being injured. So I don’t know if playing soccer on this particular beach in the middle of a war was objectively unreasonable or not. But oftentimes it turns out that there was more to the story.
Other than the libtards, apathetic, uninformed, and ignorant, is there a person on this planet that doesn’t know that terrorist scum hide behind women and children?
Ones who need their kids out of the house so they can set up the rocket launcher.
Sounds like they were killed some minutes prior to the airstrike! Was this a Palie hotel or an Israeli hotel? Just wondering what nationality hotel is responsible...
Is that the best they've got for quality of reporting?
