What do you think the Israeli soldier who fired the shots could see?

Clearly he couldn't have had the same perspective as the photographer who shot from the side.

The incident look like another senseless tragedy to me.

'tis obvious you've never been in a firefight ~

bullets bouncing off assorted objects,
unseen projectiles that take un-intended as well as intended targets.

Usually only the person firing the weapon is certain where the bullets strike, and that only sometime.

Without ballistics examination of the bullets and the weapons, no-one can say for certain who killed that child.

Fanaticism and stupidity of both parties are major contenders.

The term used by all concerned,cross fire, indicates both sides were and are firing weapons of death.

Grief follows the death of peace, the passing of the righteous, and the un-righteous.

Whether one follows and believes the Palestinians, or the Israelis, or neither, or both,

it ill becomes one to blindly accept the propaganda of either.
