Hamas using children to collect weapons from dead gunmen as IDF holds fire

Makor Rishon correspondent Hagai Huberman reports in today's edition that
Hamas is using children to collect weapons from dead gunmen as the IDF holds
fire.

A senior officer in the Givati Brigade that just saw action in the Gaza
Strip told Huberman that they killed a terrorist who had on him a large
quantity of weapons. A few minutes later another terrorist came to collect
the body and he was also shot by the soldiers and then a 10 year old boy
came, approached the weapons and collected them and brought them to a
terrorist hiding behind the wall. "It was clear to us that we would not
hurt the boy, but it was a cynical and cruel method used by the terrorists,"
the officer said.
