uhm, it's called a "headshot" in the sniper community.

The walking wounded who choose to carry a weapon are fair game, and if I have a 50cal weapon with a night scope and ballistic computer - I'll hit the temple of an enemy soldier from 600 yards and he'll never hear the bullet as his brain splats against the wall, and he will fall face forward - as drop his weapon on the ground where he'll die.

That's my job as a sniper - put the enemy down, quickly, methodically, and without mercy.

That's war. Get used to it. There's more to come.

Expect to be pinged for your expertise. You may want to check out the December issue of Soldier of Fortune which contains a good article about Israeli snipers.

This article is pure propoganda. These were headshots by well trained and disciplined men. I wouldn't put it past the Palestinian disinformation disseminators to have faked the powder burns or just outright lied. Unfortunately, some here fail to consider the source or the culture that generates this swill.
