As chaos ensued after thousands of Palestinians were turned away from returning to their homes in northern Gaza on Sunday, a 5-year-old girl was shot in the head by Israeli soldiers, her mother said.

Video shows a man carrying a 5-year-old girl named Sally Abu Laila, who was bleeding from her head, with people crowding around her in panic trying to cover her wound.

Her mother Sabreen told CNN her daughter was in her arms when Israeli soldiers shot at her. Sabreen, alongside her four children, was trying to cross through the checkpoint, when two young men squeezed in between her and other women waiting in line, prompting Israeli soldiers to fire at them.

      Actually the mother was Hamas and she was using the child as a human shield. So it’s all good that Israel shot the child to get to the mother. Because that’s what the good guys do.

        This is how you wage war on terrorists, guys. You just shoot someone’s kid in the head, and wait till the terrorists are filled with grief. Oh wait grief turned into anger tenfold, please send help, daddy.
