Heroic Deed by a Young Boy in Syria

A TV news report I watched on TV really made me sad. A boy pretended to be dead in order to save a little girl. My question then was, if the snipers had found the boy didn't die, would they still have shot him more? He is only a kid! The answer to my question is "Yes." War, get lost. You should not exist in the world.

The following is the news reported online, where you can watch the one-minute video clip.

A young Syrian boy  has been hailed a hero after a video showing him running through sniper fire to  save a girl emerged online.

The one-minute clip  shows the boy running from the left side of the frame and coming under fire as  he dashes towards a car-wreck.

As he runs shots  are fired at him and he appears to fake being shot in the chest and falling  over.

A second later he gets up and disappears behind  the car before emerging hand in hand with the terrified girl who has been hiding  from fire.

He appears to  struggle to convince her to run to safety, but the girl, dressed in pink,  eventually runs with him as more shots are fired.

The video has not  been independently verified, but it is believed to be from Yabroud, a  countryside town 50 miles from Damascus. 

Yabroud was the  last rebel stronghold held by the FSA on the Lebanese border before it fell to  Assad's forces in March 2014 

The video, which  was uploaded yesterday, has already had nearly 500,000 views.

It was later  re-published on YouTube by Sham News Network, which is run by activists  based in Damascus. 

Several YouTube  comments claim the video is fake, but experts told The Telegraph they have no reason to doubt  its authenticity.
