Israel's Haaretz newspaper reports that an Israeli drone assassinated two Palestinian cousins, boys aged 8 and 10, as they were in the yard of the families' home in the West Bank getting ready for school. The Israeli army claims it was targeting militants suspected of laying improvised explosives.

Soldiers then smashed their way into the families' house, ransacked them, beat a paramedic trying to save the children, and pointed their rifles at one of the mothers as she tried to hold her son, forcing her back into the house.

Finally, the soldiers seized the boys' bodies, only returning them to the families many hours later.

Events like this have been happening to Palestinian families for many, many decades, invariably unreported by western media. Palestinian anger and resistance is then presented by that same media as irrational hatred and terrorism.
