'Palestinians' use 10 and 12-year olds as fodder

Two 'Palestinian' boys aged 10 and 12 were killed tonight in Beit Hanoun, in the northern Gaza Strip, after 'Palestinian' terrorists sent them to retrieve rocket launchers that had been used to fire rockets at Israeli towns that are near the Strip. A third child was seriously wounded and six other people were lightly and moderately wounded.

The IDF said ground forces fired at two Palestinians who were spotted near a rocket launcher in Beit Hanun, in an area where a rocket was fired into Israel earlier.

It was not immediately clear if there were any Palestinian operatives among the casualties. ['Operatives' = adult terrorists? CiJ]

An IDF spokesperson told The Jerusalem Post that terror organizations in the Gaza Strip often send children to retrieve launchers from the field after Kassam rockets have been fired, and it appeared that this is what happened on this occasion.

Earlier, IDF troops killed three Islamic Jihad militants in southern Gaza, and on Monday, the IAF killed six Hamas gunmen.

Palestinian terrorists fired three Kassam rockets into the western Negev Tuesday, including one that hit an empty kindergarten in Sderot. No one was wounded in the attacks.

But give them a state reichlet and they'll stop showing their children videos like this one.
