Official PA daily prints dramatization of Israeli attack on beach, accusing "murderous" Israeli of intentionally targeting children

On July 16, 2014, four Palestinian boys were killed by an Israeli strike on the beach where they were playing. Calling the incident a “human tragedy,” an Israeli spokesman said intelligence had indicated that a terrorist was on the beach and reaffirmed that Israel does not target children or civilians. Israel is investigating the incident.

The ‎flash in his eyes grew more intense, ‎and the veins on his neck bulged to a ‎degree that not even the world’s ‎greatest experts, commentators and ‎psychiatrists would be able to explain, ‎understand and treat…”‎
