You Must Be Kidding #1:
The IDF sentenced an Israeli soldier, who admitted that he had fired his weapon without his commanders' permission toward Othman Rami Halas, a 16-year-old Palestinian boy at the Gaza border fence on July 13, to 30 days of the military equivalent of community service.**
You Must Be Kidding #2:
The IDF said the soldier was not tried for killing the boy because there was no proof that the soldier's action caused the boy’s death. That is despite the fact that the IDF tried the soldier for shooting specifically at Othman Rami Halas and a video shows the boy trying to climb the border fence and then falling to the ground. He was shot in the torso and his death was declared shortly afterward in the field.**
