Sadly, the children are bought to the combat zone deliberately, either by their parents and family members
It is a war crime to use children as both combatants, and as human shields.

Gaza children deliberately transported to war zones
In the last few weeks, several children have been reported killed in the border clashes with Gaza. How does this happen? Why are children in a battle zone, instead of in school?
Sadly, the children are bought to the combat zone deliberately, either by their parents and family members
or in free buses organized by Hamas, who regards the death of children as a win important tool in their efforts to demonize Israel.
It is a war crime to use children as both combatants, and as human shields.

Journalistic Malpractice from Lyse Doucet of the BBC
The BBC's anti-Israel bias is well documented- with an entire blog devoted to fact-checking the network for "accuracy and impartiality" .
BBC Watch has already pointed out the slant on Lyse Doucet’s promotion of her BBC Two ‘Children of the Gaza War’ programme
Of the 1,086 words making up that article, two hundred and thirty-six can be categorized as background information. The Israeli children’s side of the story is told in two hundred and sixty words and five hundred and ninety words are devoted to the stories of Palestinian children. One can only hope that the upcoming programme itself will show better balance.
Yet what the Jewish Chronicle Online has discovered is tantamount to journalistic malpractice, and deliberately obscures and provides covers for anti-Semitism in Gaza.
A BBC documentary has substituted the word "Israelis" for "Jews" in its translation of interviews with Palestinians, its maker has admitted.
Lyse Doucet has stood by the decision to translate "yahud" as "Israeli" in subtitles on her hour-long documentary Children of the Gaza War, which airs on BBC Two tonight.
The correct translation for "yahud" from Arabic to English is "Jew".
The BBC's chief international correspondent said that Gazan translators had advised her that Palestinian children interviewed on the programme who refer to "the Jews" actually meant Israelis.
In one instance, a Gazan child says the "yahud" are massacring Palestinians. However the subtitles read: "Israel is massacring us".
