Door wie is het meisje gedood? Voor de Palestijnen is zij hoe dan ook een martelaar en het zoveelste symbool van de strijd tegen het wrede en machtige Israel. Voor Israel is dit het zoveelste voorbeeld van hoe Hamas de eigen bevolking in gevaar brengt en daar politiek gewin uit probeert te slaan.

yaakov katz and jpost.com staff , THE JERUSALEM POST
A 17-year-old Palestinian girl was killed, and five other civilians were wounded on Thursday during a fire exchange between Gaza gunmen and soldiers from an IDF patrol, after the patrol was fired upon near the Nahal Oz Crossing.
Palestinian sources earlier said an IDF tank shell which landed in the central Gaza Strip killed the girl. The sources said at least five people were wounded in the incident.
The military said the troops responded with gunfire and mortar shells, but did not use tanks. It said mortar shells fired by the soldiers landed in open areas in the Gaza Strip.
The army added that all of the mortar shells fired by the Palestinians landed inside the Gaza Strip.
Shortly after the event took place, Hamas announced that the victim was actually a three-year-old girl.
The Hamas claim regarding the victim's age could not be confirmed.
No soldiers were wounded in the attack.
There was no word on whether the gunmen incurred casualties.
