Hamas Rocket Kills 4-Year-Old

A 4 year old child was killed when a mortar fired from Gaza hit the vehicle he was in. The attack occurred in Shar Hangev, a few miles away from Gaza.

According to initial reports, the mortar hit the vehicle, critically injuring the boy, who later died of his wounds.

The boy would be the fourth civilian in Israel to be killed in an attack from the coastal territory since the outbreak of conflict on July 8, and the first Israeli death since an Egyptian-brokered truce broke down earlier this week.

    There is one way to stop this: If Bibi has the guts!!!
    Do what the allies did to the German city of Dreisden in WWII(which was considered a legitimate act of war) and tell the rest of the world to jump into the lake because it is my people who are being murdered by Hamas which does not give a hoot about their people.
    Remember world, Hamas admitted to killing the teenagers so they could start this war in order to carry out their genocide plans against the Israelis

      Actually Dresden was not unanimously considered a legitimate act or war. It was very controversial even at the time, and many people even then regarded it as a war crime. Nowadays probably most people do think it was a war crime; certainly very few critics of Israel would hesitate to say it was one. So it’s not a good precedent for Israel to rely on.

      But there are far better precedents and arguments. Dresden was not a military target, but Shifa hospital is! It’s now well-documented that it serves as Hamas HQ, as well as a missile storage and firing position. The same applies to the UNRWA schools from which missiles are fired.

      Military targets may be hit even if one knows in advance that there’s bound to be collateral damage, and there are many precedents for this that are not at all controversial, incluidng ones from just the last decade.

    I thought the boy died because a rocket hit the roof of his home and didnt make it to the bomb shelter in time after the siren alert.
