I'll wager that the women were shot by the soldier as he was aiming at the Freedom Fighter hiding behind them. A shameful tragedy to be sure.
"According to B'Tselem, on January 4, 2009, the Abu Hajaj family evacuated their home after it was hit by an Israeli tank shell.
"When they saw tanks about 150 metres (yards) from them, two of them waved the (white) flags, and the children in the group sat on the ground," B'Tselem said.
"Suddenly, and without warning, shots were fired at the residents, killing Majda Abu Hajaj on the spot. Her mother, Riyeh Abu Hajaj, was severely wounded by the gunfire," it said. She later died of her wounds.
"The incident was one of those raised in the UN Goldstone Report on alleged war crimes by both Israel during its incursion of the Gaza strip in late 2008 and early 2009.
"
More than 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in the conflict."
How do you explain the disparity in those numbers, Hoss?
