Bahaa Abu Al-Ajeen, 32, set out with his 3-year-old son Rayan to check on their family home east of Deir al-Balah.
After inspecting the house and leaving the area, Bahaa said he was shocked to see Israeli soldiers emerging from a nearby building. “My son was in my arms and crying intensely from fear,” he recalled.
According to his account, he decided to move away from the soldiers in an attempt to calm Rayan and walked approximately 500 meters from the area. Bahaa said that after he had distanced himself, the soldiers began shouting at him to stop. He stated that two shots were fired in his direction but did not hit either him or his son, prompting him to stop out of fear for their lives.
“After I stopped, one of the soldiers knelt down and fired directly at my son,” Bahaa said. “The bullet entered the back of Rayan’s head and exited through his left eye. Moments later, another bullet struck my left leg. When I saw them kill my son, I screamed and asked them, ‘He is a child. Why did you kill him?’”
Bahaa said he attempted to call an ambulance using his mobile phone, but the soldiers confiscated it and prevented him from seeking medical assistance. According to Bahaa’s testimony, Rayan bled for approximately seven minutes before dying from his injuries. He said he pleaded with the soldiers to save his son, but they refused.
Just the head, never any other part of the children?
Basically, it’s a rage bait headline.
If their general actions don’t make you rage already, then surely focusing on headshots only can not be considered rage bait?
An article phrased to make you angrier, at the expense of actual reporting, is rage bait.
Rage bait is dumb, and makes you dumber.
Should we not rage at Israel then?
Well, rage is cheap, and mostly exclusively online. (Which also shows how much anyone actually cares about Palestine, or whatever other issue)
The actual thing to do, if you do care, would be to lobby and get involved with local political causes, and read whatever news presents the facts neutrally and accurately.
Basically, Israel is a terrorist, genocidal country, worse than a Nazi one.
Venus is slightly smaller than Earth.
No, they used to shoot them in the knees. I guess they finally corrected their rifle sights.

Generally, soldiers are trained to shoot at centre mass, so they don’t miss.
It’s just not a relevant detail, unless you’re trying to create emotionally-charged imagery for clicks.
What point do you think you’re making?
They shot a child, on purpose, 500 meters away, after commanding his father to stop walking away, and you think we should be upset that the story focused on the fact that the bullet they aimed at the child’s head hit the target?
Less upset would be good, in general. 98% of the people on here just go on the internet and get upset. That’s not noble, that’s masturbation.
This is just as trash as whatever Fox News article.
