One victim, 13-year-old Huda Darwish, remembers being told to shelter from the gunfire, but there being no time before she was struck in the head by a bullet.
"The teacher took me to the hospital and they said that this is a very serious case... that I might die," she says.
"After 12 days I got up and I felt lots of pain in my head. I asked about the light, I said 'Where's the light?'
"I told my mum I couldn't see. She said that the lights had gone out... That they had gone out in the whole world - that it wasn't just me in the dark.
As hard as it is to believe - IDF soldiers supposedly entered a classroom in the Rafah refugee camp and called out the names of Mahmoud Hammad and Madje Harare. The IDF told them they were under arrest for throwing stones during the recent Gaza offensive.
The account follows that children were given blindfolds and told to stand in the middle of the classroom. The soldiers told the 40 other students " This is what you will get if you throw stones "
It is futher said the IDF shot them in cold blood

Definitely, it's a sad situation on both sides. I think that first quote definitely sums up the entire situation though.

If this story really happened it is tragic and the Israeli soldiers are definitely in the wrong if they are firing for no good reason. I was thinking maybe they were firing into buildings to see if anyone returned fire so as to save themselves from getting shot to death. If a stray bullet hit a school kid that is tragic. If a bullet intentionally hit an innocent kid, then that is murder. If the soldier didn't need to shoot, he will have to answer for that one day.

A young girl sits in an elementary school classroom engaged in the study of the English language. Suddenly, out of nowhere, she is hit with a bullet. As she slumps down her seat with blood streaming across her cheeks, the teacher runs to carry her to the hospital. This is the fourth such incident in 18 months.
The UN says that the soldiers shot indiscriminately into the crowded refugee camp for more than half an hour.
The Israeli army says that it never directed fire at the school.
A spokesman said that it was impossible to say whether the stray bullet came from the army or from fire by the militants.
