Old habits die hard
Israeli army says forces realised they were children only at last minute, too late to hold fire.
(And we are too believe this)?
TEL AVIV - The Israeli army admitted on Friday that three Palestinian children killed in the Gaza Strip this week had nothing to do with militants and were merely playing in an area near rocket launchers.
"After an internal investigation it appears they were children playing … and had no involvement in hostile activity," a spokesman said.
The soldiers who opened fire on a field in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday spotted people of an indeterminate age approaching and then backing away from the rocket launchers as if to load them.
"The forces realised they were children only at the last minute but it was too late to hold fire," the spokesman said.
The army expressed regret over the death of children but held Palestinian militants responsible for firing rockets from inhabited areas.
Immediately after the incident, the army said it had opened fire after spotting "several suspicious looking people fiddling with the rocket launchers."
Cousins Yahya Ramadan Ghazal, 12, Mahmud Mussa Ghazal, 10, and Sara Suleiman Ghazal, 9, were all killed in the incident on Wednesday.
If they weren't launching rockets and mortars from in the middile of residential areas, shit like this wouldn't happen.
ReplyDeleteIf Israel would stop killing and grabbing more land in the name of God like he a real estate agent, stop the occupation, get rid of the apartheid wall, give back stolen lands, allow the people of Palestine to govern themselves and give them their rights of self determination, release the thousands they have in their jails, admit and come clean on all their crimes against humanity, when the people of Palestine have their right of return given back to them, only then can there be a chance for peace with Israel.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you mr/mrs anonymous read more from non-zionist or non israel materials to get truth on whats happening in Palestine.
If Israel would come clean and the above happens maybe people would not have to launch rockets and mortars to defend themselves.
I will leave your comment with one question, would it be ok for someone to come into your home or in fact anyone's home and take it over. Then move everyone in the home into the basement some where and then tell you how to live.
the Vistors to the home will be checked and ID and hours later they may be able to enter it all depends on the mood on the person who now lives in your home.
Oh yeah you will be told where to go and when to come home, that's if you are able to leave the home. The person who now has control of your home will tell you when to jump and you will ask how high. If some of this is ok with you, and you would not mind this happening to you or your home, Maybe Israel is in the right.
