      What percentage of the children do you think were ‘accidentally’ shot by snipers?

        I think few to no children were shot, but many were injured via indirect means, as I think I pretty clearly lay out.

        At the very minimum, it would be a rare occurrence for so many children to only be wounded if shot by a sniper rifle. It is unlikely, in general, that the wounds were from sniper rounds.

          The majority of the injured were children and two are in critical condition as a result of sniper fire targeting the hospital, a Red Crescent statement said.

          So they got injured running from sniper fire? Did the sniper pull off some James Bond shit and shoot a dangling object to fall on them?

            Idk if you know this but sniper rifles are pretty powerful and fuck things up.

                  They fuck up what you’re aiming at. In this case, mostly children.

                  Sorry if that was unclear.

                    Except that’s literally not how the damage profile of such a round functions. Limbs disappear - soldiers die. Children would be slaughtered. This clearly did not happen.
