It's unlikely a "handful" of children was shot "on one occasion".
I don't take side, I just assume this is a exaggeration on either one or both statements.
Also, how to deduce that it was a sniper wound is can also be tricky. The .338 bullet is massive.
Experience tells that It's a safe bet to have a prior of doubt towards any Palestinian story.
On the other hand, I've had first hand chats with Israeli soldiers and there are situations where snipers are forced to shoot children who are working with Hamas as spotters.
@strutheo aren't children heads more elastic, therefore allowing for the head to remain intact?
