Who knows. I don't suppose the consensus is that the father and the son agreed to having the event be staged? "OK, now. You crouch down here and the boy huddles behind you. We'll be over here so we can make it look like the Israelis did it; at a strategic moment we'll fire... It will only take a moment, so be patient."

In any event, the boy is dead. "WAR is a god that requires human blood."
