The army explained that there were a number of launchers in the area which were pointed at Israel and that troops opened fire at several suspicious looking people who were handling them.One guess: who does a relative of the dead children tell the AP they blame?Palestinian terrorists in Gaza often send children to retrieve rocket launchers after Kassams are fired into Israel.
The IDF said that if the fatalities were indeed children the army regretted the use of minors for terrorist purposes.
Dr. Moaiya Hassanain of the Palestinian Health Ministry said 10-year-old Mahmoud Ghazal and his 12-year-old cousin Yehiya Ghazal were killed. Their 10-year-old cousin Sara Ghazal, who was critically injured, later died.
This brings to total number of dead Palestinian children involved in rocket attacks to five this week.
