More examples of Israel being forced to kill children in their relentless goal of removing Hamas since the pivotal change in policy since Oct 7th Unfortunately this story of a child being gunned down, and her assailant subsequently getting off scot-free, comes from a time some 18 years before Oct7th.
An Israeli army officer who fired the entire magazine of his automatic rifle into a 13-year-old Palestinian girl and then said he would have done the same even if she had been three years old was acquitted on all charges by a military court yesterday.
The soldier, who has only been identified as "Captain R", was charged with relatively minor offences for the killing of Iman al-Hams who was shot 17 times as she ventured near an Israeli army post near Rafah refugee camp in Gaza a year ago.
