He knew the boys were dead but pretended they were alive to give IDF more justifiable reason to raid houses and arrest Palestinians in West Bank..in this "operation" they ruined many homes, arrested officials and people with no relation to the crime, and KILLED 10 or so Palestinians including children.
THIS is what prompted the rockets from Gaza, and I didn't even mention the burning of the Palestinian boy.
