A third Gaza child soldier is uncovered

After the New York Times published its list of child victims of the May mini-war, it was discovered that one of the "children," Khaled Imad Khaled al-Qanua, was in fact a member of the Mojahaden Brigades. According to some reports he was 20 years old, but the Palestinian Ministry of Education said that he was in 12th grade. 

Another of those listed, Muhammad Sabar Ibrahim Suleiman, 16, was in fact a Hamas member and trainee.

Now, DigFind has uncovered a third likely child soldier.

Bashar Ahmad Samour, 17, was hailed by Fatah as a "hero martyr" - language reserved for fighters. His funeral was festooned with Fatah flags, which never happens in Gaza unless the funeral is for a fighter or someone closely associated with the Al Aqsa Brigades.

That's more and more dead Gazans on the "terrorist" side of the ledger, and three fewer on the "civilian" side.
