More child abuse in Gaza...

The send children to retrieve rocket launchers...

IDF troops killed two Palestinian children along the Gaza-Israel border on Tuesday, Palestinian medical officials said.

The two dead were 10 and 12 years old, according to Dr. Muawiya Hassanin of the Palestinian Health Ministry. A third child, 10, was seriously wounded and six other people were lightly hurt, he said.

The IDF said ground forces fired at two Palestinians who were spotted near a rocket launcher in Beit Hanun, in an area where a rocket was fired into Israel earlier.

It was not immediately clear if there were any Palestinian operatives among the casualties.

An IDF spokesperson told The Jerusalem Post that terror organizations in the Gaza Strip often send children to retrieve launchers from the field after Kassam rockets have been fired, and it appeared that this is what happened on this occasion.
