Israeli Missile Hits Gaza Children Collecting Water, IDF Blames Missile Malfunction
July 13th, 2025Mmm hmm.
Via: Reuters:
At least eight Palestinians, most of them children, were killed and more than a dozen were wounded in central Gaza when they went to collect water on Sunday, local officials said, in an Israeli strike which the military said missed its target.
The Israeli military said the missile had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in the area but that a malfunction had caused it to fall “dozens of metres from the target”.
“The missile had intended”
Did it launch itself, too?
‘No, it was a malfunction. They were actually trying to target someone who’d been posting videos showing IDF war crimes (in other words, ‘an Islamic jihadist militant’) attending a family gathering nearby.’
I wrote the above sarcastic comment, left it there and, lo & behold, chanced on this 20 minutes later:
