Gaza - Palestinians Kill Two Children

That's what this BBC headline should read. Instead it reads "Israeli army 'kills two children'" But when you read the story you find out Israel was defending itself.

"The dead boys, aged 13 and 14, were close to an area from which militants had been firing rockets at Israel, the officials said.

Israel said its ground forces had fired upon two people who were seen near a rocket launcher near Beit Hanoun. "


So how did the two young boys get killed and why does my headline blame the Palestinians? Here's why.

"The IDF said the air strike targeted Palestinians who were loading a Kassam onto a rocket launcher and that terrorists were hit.

Palestinian rocket teams have been known to send young children to retrieve rocket launchers after the projectiles are fired,..."


So in reality, the Palestinians killed these two young boys.
