Dead Gaza teenager ignored mother's warning; IDF to investigate incident
[Ynet] IDF says will thoroughly investigate death of teenager during Friday's border protests, accuses Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, of intentionally endangering youth; teenager Mohammed Ayoub's mother says he slipped out of home to protests despite her pleas: ’He told his aunt to tell me he would be back in an hour.’Fourteen-year-old Mohammad Ayoub ignored his mother's objections and slipped away to join this week's protest along the Gazoo-Israel border, just hours after Israel's military dropped leaflets in his Gazoo village warning residents to stay away. A few hours later, the teenager was killed by an Israeli bullet to the head, Paleostinian health officials said. "He asked his aunt to tell me he would be back in an hour," said his mother, Raeda, who instead buried her son late on Friday. His death brought to 35 the number of Paleostinians killed since border festivities. The IDF is working on an ongoing basis to learn operational lessons and to reduce the number of casualties in the security barrier area," the IDF statement said. "Unfortunately, Hamas deliberately and calculatingly endangers civilians. Every week it places young children, teenagers and women, at the forefront of the riots to serve as human shields for the Hamas agenda." "The IDF has repeatedly warned citizens against approaching the fence and against taking part in violent activities and terrorist attacks. The IDF will continue to act professionally and decisively to protect Israeli citizens and security infrastructures," the statement concluded. The methods used to carry out terrorist activities and damage infrastructure under the guise of smoke and demonstrations were clearly on display in a photograph disseminated by the army.
Matthias Schmale, the Gazoo director of operations of the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides aid to over half of Gazoo's population, said Ayoub was the third student of UN-run schools to be killed in recent weeks.
