Armed Palestinian Eight-Year-Olds Say They Were Sent to Attack Israelis

Two eight-year-old Palestinian children who were apprehended with knives near Migdal Oz in the West Bank on Wednesday told authorities that they were sent to carry out a terrorist attack, The Times of Israel reported.

“A short while ago forces identified and apprehended two Palestinian children under the age of ten near the community of Migdal Oz,” the Israeli military said in a statement. “During the initial questioning the children admitted to have been sent, armed with knives, in order to carry out a terror attack.”

“When two, eight-year-old children are sent on a mission to attack Israeli civilians it is clear that the hateful rhetoric that echoes within Palestinian society abuses the most vulnerable of mind,” IDF Spokesperson Peter Lerner said.

The children were initially spotted near the security fence around Migdal Oz. A video of them approaching the town was tweeted by Lerner.

Far more likely that they were sent to die.

Nothing helps their cause more than children dead at Israeli hands.

for the bodies of two Palestinian children to hold up as martyrs. Glad they didn't get their repulsive wish and REALLY hope they aren't sent back to those who sent them out.
