The IDF went in, got to the place and called the terrorists to come out quietly, the terrorists returned fire and tried to escape, the IDF shot back as self defense. This is aboslutely acceptable. As for the "kids" that were killed, either that's another lie by the PA or they've fired at the soldiers.

Does anyone wonder why there were "kids" in a battle zone during a gunfight? Just like kids going to the "store" to buy "candy" during a gun battle. Maybe their moms told them to go there because mom needs a new car and she'll get money from the saudis for having a kid killed...oh wait...women aren't permitted to drive in arab lands. nevermind.

michael, whats this?? do u have the heart to say this? u r so mean! to al the israelis and everyone whos supporting what happened today, u guys have no hearts. its as simple as that. and thanks for the IDF for showing the world what u people really want, BLOOD and WAR.

Nobody....NOBODY...wants kids killed (except terrorists)...the point I was making was I sure wouldn't let MY kids go anywhere near a gun battle. In fact, I'd make sure they were far away from one. What kind of parents permit and encourage their children to participate in such things??? What kind of "militants" would use kids as a cover? THAT IS SICK!!!!

Out of curiousity, I wonder how much grief counseling facilities the Palestinians have available to them. They need tons, the Israelis are always killing their kids and the Palestinians are suppossed to go, oh, it was an accident, its ok JEWISH OPPRESSORS.

!!!!!!!!!! Did ANYONE know there a gun battle was going to occur?! No one could predict! The kids were around when the IDF soldiers started shooting, theres absluetly no excuse, not even the most ridiculous one, which is the kids started throwing stones at them! yea, its weird, u can get shot if u through a stone on a tank.. u know, the stone could kill. ITS RIDICULOUS! again , the kids did not know there was a battle going on..

...women are allowed to drive in the arab world, my mom drives and she has her own car.
