from reading the story.. this part explains what may have happen..."The killing of Haneen is clearer in the commander's mind. "We checked it and we know that on the same day there was shooting of a mortar," he says. "The troops from the post shot back at the area where the mortar was launched, the area where the girl was killed. We didn't see if we hit someone. I assume that a stray bullet hit Haneen. Unfortunately." Doesn't he think that simply shooting back in the general direction of a mortar attack is irresponsible at best? He says not. "You cannot have soldiers sitting and doing nothing when they are shot at," he says." It is awful children get killed in these cross fires but why do they continue to fight from places where children are playing... Where is the outrage of these fighters taking no account in the danger of the people around them. These parents should take a gun to the guys who fired the motars.
