GAZA'S KILLING
SCHOOL
Children as young as 10 are being recruited to fight for the
Palestinian cause |
|
Sky News has gained access to a young people's camp in Gaza, where the
only lesson taught is how to kill Israelis.
Sky's Middle East Correspondent Emma Hurd said the camp, at an undisclosed
location, had been set up to drill children in the ways of war. The
recruits, some of whom are dwarfed by their AK-47 assault rifles, are
taught how to carry out ambushes.

|
They are also made to do an
obstacle course, crawling under barbed wire and leaping through
hoops of fire while their instructors fire live bullets overhead.
Hurd witnessed one training session in which a militant, dressed as
a Jewish settler complete with yarmulke skull cap, was ambushed in
his car. Gunmen pulled the "settler" from his vehicle and Hurd was
told if this had been real he would have been killed. |

She spoke
to two 10-year-old recruits.
One of them, Mustafa, said he wanted to shoot down Israeli aircraft and
blow up tanks.
The camp is run by a group called the Popular Resistance Committee,
which said the next generation of Palestinians needed to know how to
fight the Israeli "occupation". |
| The boys even "graduate" at the
end of their training, receiving a certificate from the camp
commander. |
