Palestinians: Two girls, aged 4 and 7, killed in IDF raid in Gaza
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/418457.html

<snip>

"Two Palestinian girls, aged 4 and 7, were killed Thursday during the final day of an Israel Defense Forces raid in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian sources said. Also Thursday, three Israeli soldiers were wounded in Gaza.

The sources said the 4-year-old, Assma Abu Klik, died of tear-gas inhalation and the 7-year-old, Muna Abu Tabak, was killed by gunfire, both west of Beit Hanun.

Also Thursday, Mohammed al-Malfouh, 16, was killed by IDF gunfire while throwing stones at IDF tanks from close range, along with dozens of other teens. Including the two young Palestinian girls and al-Malfouh, a total of 17 Palestinians - among them at least five armed militants - were killed in the three-day raid and some 40 Palestinians were wounded."

4. Nope, she is an innocent victim of ongoing violence
Lots of people get caught in the crossfire between warring factions.

She was just caught in the crossfire, eh?

On edit: It's funny how 4 times as many Palestinian child "accidentally get caught in the crossfire" as do their Israeli counterparts...

6. Yep, and since she was shot, it's not clear who did it
The girl who died from inhaling teargas is pretty clear to trace since the Palestinians don't use it. They do, however, have many guns and like to shoot them at Israelis on a regular basis.

The reason Palestinian children die in the crossfire is that the combat generally takes place in the West Bank and Gaza. If it took place in Tel Aviv, the noncombatants killed would be mostly Israeli.

7. Sad, but that's what happens when you fight a guerilla war. Didn't
the UN outlaw the use of military caches and military operations within a residential area. I guess Yasir and Hamas forgot to read this article but thankfully the UN has the balls to enforce it, lol.:eyes:
