ISM activists as targets

BB | 19.04.2003 09:24

“On 11th April 2003 in Rafah, occupied Gaza, International Solidarity Movement (ISM) peace activist and photographer Thomas Hurndall was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper as he shielded children from the line of fire.
… Tom is the third ISM activist killed or injured by the Israeli military in the space of a month - Rachel Corrie was killed last month by an Israeli bulldozer in Rafah and last week Brian Avery was shot in the face in Jenin. Many are now asking if international peace activists are being deliberatly targeted by the Israeli military”

The above IMC report seems to imply that the Israeli soldier was aiming for the children, then goes on to say many are suggesting peace activists are being deliberately targeted.

How can the Israelis deliberately and very publicly murdering either ISMers and/or children be in their best interests?
