Syrian Boy Braves Sniper Fire To Rescue Terrified Girl (Video)



Watch: Syrian 'Hero Boy' Appears To Brave Sniper Fire To Rescue Terrified Girl In Dramatic Video -- The Telegraph

Amateur video which was posted on YouTube by Syrian activists, and which cannot be independently verified, appears to show a young boy braving sniper fire to rescue a terrified girl from under a car

A video has emerged purporting to show a young Syrian boy braving heavy sniper fire to make a daring rescue of a small girl frozen with fear under a car.

The one-minute clip, posted on the YouTube site of the activist Shaam News Network channel, seems to show a boy of around eight years old get up after being shot at and run to save another child stranded in the middle of the road under a burnt-out truck.

Some viewers have speculated that the boy pretends to have been hit by one of the bullets in order to fool the sniper and get a break in the gunfire, before running up and leading the cowering girl out of harm’s way.

Why does your gut say it's fake? I'm not saying I think you are wrong but a lot of kids get sniped everyday, the scenario is common enough.
