I'd guess that they weren't shooting at the kids, they were shooting at the adult with the device on his shoulder that he was aiming at them.
Bigass TV cameras probably look a lot like AT missiles at a distance. What I've never understood is the reality disconnect and ego necessary for a reporter to somehow think that they can wade into chaos and expect all sides to respect their safety. |

Could have been one of those less-than-lethal tank rounds the Israelis have. Would account for the lack of injury bar concussion, and the slower speed of the round.

During the last Isreal v Lebanon conflict a similar event occurred. A film crew was doing a scene on the side of the road and the reporter decided to use an Isreali tank as a "background" prop. He forgot to tell the tank crew that was about 300 meters away that they were on TV. Instead you see a variable fused round leave the muzzle and then everything goes KABOOM! They scraped the cameraman off the side of the road and the reporter's haircut that week was free!

The tanks projectile looks like it brushed the pole.
Point a shoulder thing that goes horizontal at a tank and win an appropriate prize. Ditto for anything that looks like that shoulder thingie. The bad guys were trying to provoke the tank crew, they got what they wanted. They got less than they deserved. |
