"..... confusion, mayhem and danger".

Right, so let's revisit this particular example and reflect on the particular "confusion, mayhem and danger" these 2 young boys were creating for the soldiers.

They shot regular bullets from a great distance at Abd el-Rahman as he stood at the entrance to a friend’s home, they shot a rubber-coated bullet at Mohammed from a nearby hilltop as he tried to hide from them down the same hill. The army said he had set a tire on fire.

So one boy was at a friend's house some distance from the soldiers, the other was trying to hide, and somewhere, unspecified, there was a tire burning .... why not try and pick them off?
