IDF Gravely Wounds Palestinian Boy Attempting To Cross Border Fence
2014-11-17
[Ynet] 10-year-old Gazook boy hit by IDF fire after approaching Israel's border fence with Gazoo, failing to heed soldiers' warnings.

A young Paleostinian boy was shot by an IDF force on Sunday after approaching the security barrier between Gazoo and Israel. He was hit and was evacuated to Sorokoa Medical Center in Be'er Sheva in grave condition.

The IDF stressed that the soldiers had performed the procedure for the arrest of a suspect nearing the fence but the 10-year-old boy did not respond to calls to halt his advance.

The incident occurred in the border area near Kibbutz Be'eri at around 4 pm. Nahal Brigade soldiers deployed to the scene and called on the Paleostinian to stop and turn away from the fence, but he did not answer and the soldiers were forced to fire when he reached the barrier.

The youth, who was unarmed, was gravely maimed by gunfire. The IDF said it suspects the boy was sent as a scout by one of Gazoo's terror factions to test the troops' level of alert and response times.
The Times of Israel adds:
Later Sunday, the IDF tossed in the slammer
Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw!
three unarmed Paleostinians near the Kerem Shalom Crossing, after they crossed the border fence and entered Israeli territory. The three were taken in for questioning at a nearby security facility, the NRG news site reported.

A similar incident occurred on Saturday, when IDF soldiers arrested an unarmed Paleostinian near Kibbutz Kfar Aza, after he had apparently crossed the border fence.

On Wednesday, two Paleostinian men managed to walk five kilometers (three miles) into Israeli territory near Kibbutz Be'eri before being spotted and stopped by IDF soldiers. Both men, who were unarmed as well, were taken in for questioning, according to Channel 10.
It sounds like the border fence wants serious repairs and an upgrade.
