from what i read IDF didnt rescue them, they allowed palestinian police to do it, so they can prove that the palestinian authorities know about the location of these tunnels.

JERUSALEM - The Israeli army has suspended a platoon commander accused of firing at a wounded Palestinian girl. Soldiers from the platoon say the girl had already been shot, and possibly killed, when the commander emptied his automatic weapon into her on Oct. 5 near an army outpost in southern Gaza. The army claimed 13-year-old Iyman Hams was planting a bomb, but her family says she was on her way to school. "I found it necessary to suspend the platoon commander for now," Israeli Col. Eyal Eisenberg told Israel Army Radio. "The accusations are grave. We will get to the bottom of the truth." The incident made headlines after Israeli troops complained to Israeli media that the commander repeatedly shot her as they pleaded with him to stop. They said the platoon commander fired two bullets from close range to confirm that she was dead. He then allegedly went back a second time and sprayed her with automatic-weapon fire. Soldiers told the Israeli newspaper Yediot that they shouted to the commander over the two-way radio: "Don't shoot, she's a little girl." "We saw her from a distance of 70 metres. She was fired at ... from the outpost. She fled and was wounded. I understood that she was dead. The platoon commander neared her, shot two bullets at her, returned toward the force, turned back to her, put the weapon on automatic and emptied his entire clip," one soldier said. A Palestinian doctor said the girl was hit by at least 15 bullets in her head, chest and legs. http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/natio...irl041013.html/
