GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- An Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip injured 11 people on Sunday, a Gaza medical official said.

Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra told Ma'an the airstrike targeted a motorcycle traveling in a busy neighborhood of Rafah. Two of the wounded were in a critical condition and one required both legs to be amputated.

Five children were among the wounded, al-Qidra added.

Israel's army said it had targeted Global Jihad operative Talaat Halil Muhammad Jarbi, 23, and Abdullah Muhmmad Hassan Maqawai, 24, a statement said.

Jarbi was reportedly involved in an attack in June on the Israel-Egypt border, which led to the deaths of one construction worker and two militants, it added.

#1 There's this thing called perspective, where close things seem bigger than faraway things. I know, it's crazy. And then there's camera lenses that make stuff that's close look REALLY big. What a hi-tech hub! As though Palestinian psych. warfare needs to fake a shot of a bloody foot. They're spoilt for choice. Justice Israeli-style: double amputation (at 24) for being "reportedly involved" in "an attack" (on what?) (which left three Arabs dead) and five children wounded, just to rub it in.

How exactly does one's foot not match with the age? Can you see the individual wrinkles?? I am 21 - yet my hands look like they are 64, as do my feet. Are you saying any photo of me is...."fake"?? why are ridiculous comments like this allowed to be posted??

#1 you're the idiot. anyone with a brain knows that the angle of the camera shot for a close up, head-on picture of the foot in this image, distorts the foot to look slightly bigger precisely because of the orientation of this view. THIS image in THIS article is NOT FAKE.

It seems #1 cannot help but function as a Distraction. The STORY is about another attack on a captive population by the occupation military...not about whether YOU someone/somewhere (settlement) comprehend perspective, photography, anatomy or even reality.

1- It is Terrible when civilians are hurt, or used as "human-shields".
2- It is a War Crime when militants or armies target civilians.
3- If GAZA CIVILIANS were hurt, they WERE clearly NOT THE TARGET,
like when Gaza militants fire rockets at Israeli towns, and, most importantly
4- NO ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE would have beed anywhere near civilians,
IF NOT FOR THE MILITANT "motorcycle traveling in a busy neighborhood of Rafah", and thus using the Rafah residents as human-shields !!!!
