More child abuse in Gaza....

Even the Palestinians realize things are rotten...

An Israeli military spokeswoman, who was not authorized to be named, said aircraft fired on several launch sites in western Beit Hanoun, a town of about 30,000 people near the boundary with Israel.

The spokeswoman said the military spotted "teenagers" handling the launchers -- usually homemade tripods that serve as stands for the rockets -- before the strike. She condemned "the use these terrorist organizations make of teenagers."

A member of the Abu Ghazallah family who witnessed the airstrike said a rocket launcher was near the area where the children were playing. The relative, who declined to be named for fear of reprisal, said the launcher belonged to Islamic Jihad, an armed movement responsible for much of the rocket fire into Israel.

"I hold the Islamic Jihad responsible for the killing of these children," the relative said.
