As chaos ensued after thousands of Palestinians were turned away from returning to their homes in northern Gaza on Sunday, a 5-year-old girl was shot in the head by Israeli soldiers, her mother said.

Video shows a man carrying a 5-year-old girl named Sally Abu Laila, who was bleeding from her head, with people crowding around her in panic trying to cover her wound.

Her mother Sabreen told CNN her daughter was in her arms when Israeli soldiers shot at her. Sabreen, alongside her four children, was trying to cross through the checkpoint, when two young men squeezed in between her and other women waiting in line, prompting Israeli soldiers to fire at them.

Israel has the right to defend itself against mothers carrying their children.

Imagine those sick fucks high fiving each other after making that shot.

Death, and I can't stress to enough, to Israel.

I can't even imagine what that family is going through right now. That girl's brain is going to be fucked up for whatever time is left in her life.

...when two young men squeezed in between her and other women..., prompting Israeli soldiers to fire at them.

So, I guess queue jumping is punishable by death now? Wtf, if you are worried you get the individuals, you don't fire blindly and hope your weapons training included curving bullets.

The fact that this is a regular occurrence is yet more "scales from my eyes" this past year than any of my previous 30.

"Just another article from Hamas-loving leftie journalists hiding the fact that the 5-year-old Hamas member was going from a Hamas Tunel into another Hamas Tunel" <- The typical hasbara facist astroturfer
