Israeli tanks kill Palestinian child, injure two others in Gaza
2008-04-07
Ma'an – Shrapnel from an Israeli tank shell killed a five-year-old Palestinian child and injured two others in Al-Bureij refugee camp in the Gaza Strip on Sunday afternoon, witnesses and medics said. Palestinian medical sources identified the deceased child as Abdullah Bhar. Witnesses said that Israeli military helicopters are flying over the central Gaza Strip. On Saturday, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a 35-year-old Palestinian farmer in the northern Gaza Strip.

#5  Who knows if there was even anyone killed? Remember the Paleo "funeral procession" where the "mourners" panicked at the sound of a helicopter and the "corpse" got up and ran away?
Give them credit for one thing, they play their willing Western press associates like a Stradivarius.

#4  It may not have even been the Israelis...

The boy, Abdullah Buhar, was hit by shrapnel to his head and chest, the officials said. It was not immediately clear whether the boy was killed by Israeli forces operating in the area or by Palestinian militants who may have misfired a mortar shell.

#2  Israeli tanks kill Palestinian child, injure two others in Gaza

Probably someone just left the keys in the ignition and the tank started itself up and went on a murderous rampage. You know how irritable and easily provoked main battle tanks are.
