This is strange, it looks like he was shot and fall down but then he stood up like nothing happen. There's no way he could run like that if he's wounded.

What heroism on the part of this little boy.
IMHO that little boy simply faked the killers out. He very theatrically acted like he was shot and fell down dead...and was pretty convincing about it. And I believe it it saved his and the little girl's life.
He then got up after faking them out convicningly, and saved the little girl...maybe his sister. As I said, that kid is a real hero.
The miscreants who would in cold blood shoot down little children like that, while fnatically shouting their "Allah Akbar," chants...deserve absolutely no mercy.
As the Dutch bikers have said, who have gone over there from the Netherlands to help the Kurds...when it comes to these ISIS fighters, "exterminate the rodents."

A shell explodes in the Syrian city of Kobane as seen from the Turkish border village of Mursitpinar, Sanliurfa province. A report issued on November 13 by the Norwegian Refugee Council and International Rescue Committee says Syrians are increasingly unable to escape their country's war as tougher policies in potential host nations are preventing them from taking refuge in the region and beyond.

That's just sick how could the director deceive so many people??
Anyway I am sure worse things have happened in wars but I guess it highlights the reality of what war means
How could anyone shot at kids anyway

Knowing that these kind of atrocities occur all too often in warzones, I'm still very glad to find out that this one was indeed a fake.
Thank you Sampan & Franklin for the follow up posts.
When at secondary school the director each year read the names of the pupils killed during WWII and how they were killed. The one I remember best is the 15 year old who was on his way by bicycle to his grandmother in another town who was killed by a passing Spitfire.

So all this drama just to promote a film of some kind?! Just by playing on people's geopolitical emotion?
Yes...I saw that.
Makes me upset. Not that they made such a video, but that they let millions of people believe it was real.
Creating fictional drama is one thing...letting it be passed off as a real is quite another.
