IAF fighter pilots spot two children near an intended target in Gaza, and call off the strike on May 10, 2023

A drama developed during one of the Israel Air Force bombing runs on Wednesday as part of Operation Shield and Arrow, when an Israel Air Force fighter pilot spotted children near the target. The IAF’s 200th Squadron swiftly canceled the intended strike, aimed at a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist position.

“There’s a child here outside, 40 meters,” the pilot is heard saying. “Two of them. Hold fire. Hold fire.

“They’re getting closer. Hold fire!” the pilot says.

“We’re holding fire. Red light,” a second pilot responds.
