Death of a Human Shield

Ha’aretz reports:

Israel Defense Forces troops killed a 12-year-old Palestinian boy and two militants in a cross-border raid into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on Friday, Hamas and medical officials said. Medical officials said the boy sustained bullet wounds in the head and chest during an exchange of fire near the refugee camp of Bureij in central Gaza.

A 12-year-old boy killed in an exchange of gunfire between the IDF and palestinian terrorists..must be the IDF’s fault, right?

I think it’s pretty clear who’s responsible. It’s a shame the very media who publish pictures like the above assign the blame to Israel, and people too readily swallow it up.
