I find it hard to believe someone would use a 120mm round to off a kid.

We can pretty well rule out a APDS or HEAT round, but why fire such at kids?

I guess it might be a APAM round, but isn`t that overkill for the nature of the target?

IMI has an excellent Stun Tank Cartridge for suppressing civilians in urban environments, but again why would one use it?

For such a soft, unresisting target it would make far more sense to use the 7.62 mm machine gun.

I suspect there is something bogus in this report.

It just does not make sense.

I would bet on a Palestinian short round.
