(Ma'an) -- Israeli shelling killed three people including an elderly man in the northern Gazoo Strip late Sunday, witnesses said. The bodies of shepherds Ibrahim Abu Said, 91, and Ismail Abu Odeh, 21, were taken to a hospital in Beit Hanoun, medics said. Ibrahim was apparently Ismail's grandfather.
| What kind of young idiot takes his aged grandfather along when he's playing with rocket launchers? Aging grandfathers generally aren't good at the scoot portion of "shoot'n'scoot" activities. I hope Grandfather is now vigorously joining the devils beating the young lad's bottom and roasting his intestines in Hell. |
