Palestinians Embrace New Tactic Of Sending Really Young Suicide Bombers Into Israel

Hey, just in case anybody is keeping track at home - yes, Palestinian terrorists are still trying to commit mass atrocities:

Troops from the Golani Brigade, operating in the Gaza Strip this week, arrested a 15-year-old Palestinian boy who had planned to perpetrate a suicide attack against nearby Israeli forces, it was released for publication on Thursday. The boy was apprehended Tuesday night during an operation near Beit Hanun after he had suspiciously approached the troops. He was later found to be carrying two large explosive devices on his body. The military force had received intelligence of a possible attack and had taken the necessary precautions to capture the youth without setting off the bombs.

The soldiers of every other country on the planet would have shot the boy dead where he stood rather than risking their own lives. Every other country on the planet. The French? You think the French would risk their precious little hides just to prevent a teenage boy from killing himself? Let alone soldiers from the vast majority of the Arab world, who last we checked were strafing Palestinian refugee camps with helicopters to the total silence of the rest of the world. As to who cares more about the lives of Palestinian kids:

The incident, officials said, demonstrated the growing use of children by Gaza-based terror groups. On Wednesday, two Palestinian youth were killed in an IDF strike on a number of Kassam launchers after they had been set there to collect them.

That incident was reported across the planet, by the by, as an implicitly vicious attack on Palestinian children. The part about how Hamas had assigned them to pick up rocket launchers so that they could be reused to attack Israeli schoolhouses and hospitals - that part got left out a bunch of times, mysteriously.
