Palestinian Children in Jenin Joined in War
(Israel Defense Forces) The Hizballah weekly contains accounts of children who participated in active warfare in Jenin alongside armed terrorists. The children, who were taught from a very young age to throw stones at IDF soldiers, now throw hand grenades and explosive charges. According to the account, one group of children assisted in the manufacturing of bombs and a second group placed them strategically around the area as specified by a senior terrorist operative. A third group was instructed to set up ambushes on street corners, carrying bags filled to the brim with explosives. Witnesses said one young Palestinian aged 16 "threw at least 50 grenades towards IDF soldiers. The children were right alongside him." Hundreds of children paraded through the streets, chanting "our fight to victory or to death, for the will of Allah."
