Let's see what the investigation reveals before we toss around phrases like "horrific war crime."  Were the shepherds associated with the rocket attacks?

^Come on Mike, you really expect a tabloid like the Daily Mail to be concerned with the truth? :teehee:

These type of incidents happen in war.  Should they be reported - Absolutely.  Many times they are not.
My father volunteered with his small boat to go to Dunkirk, and on return joined the crews called " Churchill's Pirates". RNVR/.  Many books written about them.  They were armed trawlers, manned by experienced fishermen, masquerading as trawlers but keeping our home waters free of mines and attacking E boats.  Long after the war he told us of a German airman who has been shot down and had swam to the trawler for rescue.  A member of the crew, British, grabbed the fire axe to cut off his hands tryng to get a grip to be pulled in.  He was stopped.

That was never reported.  Perhaps the fact that the man had lost his family a while before due to the coastal bombing may have been some sort of justification.  But in cases like this it is better to " Judge not,  for fear that thee be judged".
