Eight children killed while playing in park

[fanger]

Monday was marred by renewed violence in war-torn Gaza, where the Israeli operation against Hamas has been ongoing for three weeks. The violence came as Muslims around the globe celebrated one of their religion's biggest holidays – Eid-ul-Fitr, the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

A massive explosion rocked a public garden in northern Gaza, killing eight children and two adults and injuring 46 others, according to Palestinian medics. A health official at nearby Shifa Hospital said the children were playing on a swing when the strike hit the park in the beachfront Shati refugee camp on the edge of Gaza City, AP reported.

“The children were playing and were happy, enjoying Eid, and they got hit. Some lost their heads, others their legs and hands,” eyewitness Nidal Aljerbi said.

The refugee camp park was attacked just minutes after Shifa Hospital's outpatient clinic was hit by another strike, causing more casualties.

Just waiting for the cynical to deny any involvement, again!

Israel has confirmed that it unintentionally hit a UN school in Gaza last week, but denies reports that anyone was killed in the incident, claiming the courtyard area was empty when the strike took place. Palestinian officials say 16 people were killed.

Around 200 others were injured, according to Palestinian officials, as three Israeli tank shells hit the Ashraf al-Qidra school in the town of Beit Hanoun last Thursday. Women, children, and UN staff were reportedly among those killed during the shelling.

Israeli army spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner said that the shell that hit the school was not fired intentionally.

“A single errant mortar [round] landed in the courtyard of the school,” he told journalists during a briefing. “The courtyard was completely empty” at the time of the incident, he said, referring to aerial footage.

The Israeli army was responding to militants “in the vicinity” of the school, who fired mortar rounds and anti-tank rockets at Israeli soldiers, Lerner added.

“We reject the claims that were made by various officials immediately following the incident, that people were killed in the school premises as a result of [the Israeli army's] operational activity,” he added. It is "extremely unlikely that anybody was killed as a result of this mortar.”

The spokesperson claimed that the victims might have been wounded elsewhere and were “brought to the compound after injury”

Time to cancel Israel.

A new angle in the Israel propaganda war. They claim it was a Hamas rocket that went off target.

Quite believable a claim I suppose, execept that NBC reporter witnessed it the attack being carried out by a drone.

I'm sure that as we speak said reporter is being called a nazi for reporting what he saw, which will undoubtedly be buried under an avalanche of recrimination whilst no forensics will ever be done at the scene and Israel will get away with telling whatever story it wants.

Damn Hamas for putting rockets in childrens' parks.

Why kids playing outside during war?
I Heard few times that IDF called Saajiya residents to evacuate before and after the shelling, are they lost their mind?

It was the Holiday of Eid, after Ramadan ended

“The children were playing and were happy, enjoying Eid, and they got hit. Some lost their heads, others their legs and hands,” eyewitness Nidal Aljerbi said.

Ha ha, Israel takes their lands, their power, their airspace and their borders and now it wants to take the rights of children to play.

Oh and FYI a war is where 2 sides are being killed, this is a genocide, it's a bit different.

yeah, call it something different and it's okay. Call it cutting the grass then. The slaughter of innocents is so much more acceptable when you give it a little euphamistic name. "Cutting of the grass", "Operation Protective edge" or "Final Solution"

It's a war. Hamas uses innocent people and then plays victim. It doesn't work anymore.

How can you see a drone launching a bomb

Do you know how high the drone is? Do you how fast the bomb drops?

Does that mean America should also be cancelled? Syria?

Told you so.

The undermining starts with the opening salvo, the armchair warfield specialist angle. The totally neutral reporter will be a nazi within 2 pages.

Suggestion - don't play in parks in the middle of a fucking war zone.
Seems simple enough.

The Nazis are bombing the buildings where they live, it's probably better for the children to be killed immediately by shrapnel than a slow death covered by rubble.

You got your wars/enemies mixed up, stupid.

The Israelis are today's Nazis, their tactics are similar vis-a-vis the races/people they consider inferior.

Their actions are so similar that it's pretty easy to do.
