[quote]HEBRON-Israeli forces shot 6-year-old Musab al-Sarahneh in the eye in al-Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron early last week, his family reported.
The boy lost his right eye after Israeli forces opened fire on the car he was traveling in with rubber-coated steel bullets, according to the family's account.[/quote]

good job, israel
Wow, what the fuck. There wasn't any reason at all for that soldier to do that.
Bastard.
[quote]Some boys gathered and threw stones and empty bottles at Israeli soldiers, who fired tear gas canisters in response, the group said, and as a result, several boys suffered tear-gas inhalation. [/quote]
Worst part is that they can't really do anything about it.
I'm sure he was an enemy combatant.
super serious threat.
Probably had a quintuple-nuke-bomb-vest under his thirty year old imported Elmo Shirt.

I would estimate it to be...
a little smaller than that.
Kids throw rocks at soldiers, so they get shot. I'll never understand why the soldiers overreact like that, and why they American government doesn't have a bigger issue with it (we had the Boston Massacre, anyways, and we got up in arms over that.)
I don't know why anyone would shoot at a child, regardless of what they're doing. Forget this specific story, there has been Israeli soldier-on-violence a lot lately. Why?

To clarify I'm not even certain he was throwing rocks, the story says he was in his car with mother when it happened.

I like the Trackball ones more. They bounce like superballs on a shopfloor, but they're 100x as dangerous because they aren't rubber. :v:
Checked the source, it gave no possible explanation to the Iraeli's actions.
I smell some bullshit here.

They've done it before and will do it again.
palestinian news source posts anecdotal anti-israeli story.
about as reliable as an israeli news source posting about palestinians

The media only really writes the bad things soldiers and law enforcement do. They won't get views when they talk about Officer Jane Doe catching a bad guy, they get views from Officer John Smith abusing his power.

What explanation would you like to justify the 6 year old getting shot in the head?
The soldier could have just been an asshole.

How is this dumb?
There have been reports of soldiers literally opening fire (with real bullets, not rubber coated) on children for throwing rocks.

Problem is that there's literally no context to justify the Israeli's actions at all. He could have been firing at the childs' car because was blatantly disobeying traffic flow (god knows with the prolific numbers of IEDs in recent wars it's a very distinct possibility that what the Israeli thought), he could have been firing at someone else when the kid's car ran into the line of fire, he could have been firing at the driver and just been a shit shot, could have been a poorly aimed warning shot, etc. I do not believe an IDF soldier just opened up on this kid sitting in the back of a car. IT makes no sense whatsoever.
tl;dr it's palestinian propaganda
