SP It just looked like, you know, someone had thrown a quarter through a guy, and it was just like there was no blood coming from the shrapnel wounds.

When you're faced with brutality, whether it's a child facing a bully on a playground or domestic violence or, on the streets of Syria today, facing tanks and shrapnel, what's the most effective thing to do?

Twelve Israelis are now known to have been wounded in the incidents, including a civilian resident of the border village of Ghajar, who was hit by mortar shrapnel, and a number of Israeli soldiers who have sustained serious injuries.
