Gaza Strip: Israeli Soldiers Play Hide and Seek, Find Bullets Instead of Smiles

Here we go again, the world's most tragic game of hide and seek in the Gaza Strip has once again reached its grim conclusion. The Israeli military, apparently in a quest for some macabre entertainment, found bullets instead of smiles when four soldiers were killed and five others got a surprise they won't soon forget.
The news hit the wire with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer to a concrete wall. Two of the soldiers' names are on a hold, like they're waiting for some cosmic clearance sale. Their families have been informed, but hey, who cares about a little grief when there's a headline to be made, right?
In an event that could only be described as a mix between a tragicomic operetta and a sniper's training exercise, it seems the military might have accidentally stumbled upon a group of Palestinians who, unlike the soldiers, had actually mastered the art of hiding. But hey, when you're playing on someone else's turf, the rules are a bit different, ain't they?
