The relatives of these children must be very grateful for the help given by the Israelis.

As Israeli doctors aid Syrians, humanitarianism trumps geopolitics

At a hospital near the Golan Heights, a Syrian boy who lost his legs is among those getting the medical care they need.

SAFED, Israel — The 9-year-old Syrian boy with no legs wheeled himself down a bright hospital corridor, stopping to accept a pain pill from one nurse and a high-five from another.

He has been here for a month, ever since a Syrian government warplane flew low over his village and dropped a bomb that killed two of his cousins and blew apart his lower limbs.

Both legs had been amputated by an overworked doctor in an improvised clinic in a cellar. The next day, the boy's grandmother took him and several other injured family members to the Golan Heights border half an hour away and asked the Israeli soldiers on the other side for help.

I have no problem with Syrians massacring each other in their own country other than for the injuries, suffering & deaths to their own innocent civilvians, especially their children. Is there ANYONE who does not at least give praise & thanks to Israel for saving the lives of many of the Syrian children, all at Israel's expense, who are the victims of their own people? Bless you Israel for this great humanitarian effort putting politics aside. LET THERE BE PEACE ALREADY!

Humanitarian urge that clashes with stupidity.

Hope it won't bite us in our behinds, one day

Best that Israeli humanitarianism trumps Syrian stupidity, regardless of the cost to Israel. LET THERE BE PEACE ALREADY!
