| IDF: Gaza children being promised NIS 300 ($83) if injured at border protests |
| 2019-02-22 |
| [IsraelTimes] Israeli army says troops see Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, sending kids as young as 8 to front lines of violent demonstrations. Israeli security forces have recently noticed Hamas sending children as young as eight years old to the front lines of protests along the Gazoo-Israel border, the Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday. They have also lately heard unidentified operatives on loudspeakers promising children at the border NIS 300 ($83) if they get injured, the army said, confirming a previous unsourced report on the Kan public broadcaster. A Hamas official in Gazoo did not respond to a request for comment about whether the terror group sent children as young as eight to the front lines of the demonstrations. He also did not answer whether it had promised kids money for sustaining injuries. Hazem Qassim, a Hamas front man, said in April 2018 the terror group had made payouts of $200 and $500 to Paleostinians moderately and critically maimed in the protests, respectively. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... Qassim did not clarify at the time whether Hamas would continue to make payments to injured Paleostinians. Since they started last year, some 3,000 children have been injured in the protests, an official in the Hamas-run Health Ministry said in a phone call. Over the past week, many Paleostinian children have been maimed in festivities at night with Israeli security forces, the official added. On February 10, groups of young Paleostinians returned to clashing with the IDF at night in the border region after months of inactivity. The groups operating at night have burned tires, set off bombs, shined lasers at Israeli soldiers across the border to blind them, and attempted to breach the security fence. |
