Four children were killed in Gaza City on Wednesday, medics said, in Israeli shelling witnessed by The Telegraph and other foreign journalists.

The four were among a group on the beach when the attack took place, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said, with some of the surviving injured children taking refuge at a nearby hotel where journalists were staying.

Journalists heard two loud explosions outside the Gaza City hotel, before children were pulled into the restaurant area for treatment.

A journalist who saw the incident said some of the children who survived were running away when another shell seemed to be aimed at them.

The children being treated at the hotel are believed to be approximately 10-11 years of age.

How brave of them, bombing children on a beach playing football and bombing the ones they didn't get the first time and running away, and them in their ship, all nice and protected. Fucking Bastards.

Ships don't bomb. They don't even fly.

Now, aircraft and missiles do bomb. Palestinians have to date sent some 1,240 missiles over to Israel. Perhaps you mean them.

fabricated pictures

more likely they are victims of hamas

I think Hamas taking over Gaza is a bad thing for the Palestinians.  I remember in a political strategy class, something about separating power from responsibility or consequences.  It's a bad thing because the guy who gets bit, never gets to control the dog.

Here, Hamas is Iran.  So Iran is calling all the shots, lobbing missiles over into Israel.  And when Israel hits back, is Iran affected?  Never in a million years.  Iran could care less about the Palestinian children/people who are hurt.  They just lob a few more missiles.

It's kinda like Dick Cheney starting the war in Iraq.  He's not the President, so he'll never face the flack.

Seen by journalists, reported by journalists. Anyone defending this or trying to prove how clever they are by 'what ships do' is filth.

Kids playing football on a beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You do all remember what happened in 2006 don't you, or did you only see the initial news headlines of "Israel kills 7 Innocent Civilians on beach"??
