While the rich and powerful gathered in Paris to throw more billions at a monumental sham, Israel’s partners in peace nearly succeeded in murdering a two-year old boy: Palestinian rocket wounds 2-year-old.

JERUSALEM - A rocket fired by Palestinian militants from Gaza wounded a 2-year-old boy in a community on the Gaza-Israel border, Israeli police and rescue services said Sunday.

The toddler was hit by shrapnel and taken to hospital, and his mother was being treated for shock, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. AP Television News footage showed the boy and his mother leaving the hospital after treatment.

The rocket scored a direct hit on a house in Kibbutz Zikim, an Israeli communal farm less than a mile from Gaza, Rosenfeld said.
