The deaths of four children from what is alleged to be a Israeli naval missile strike has provoked an international outpouring of grief and outrage.

Shocking images have circulated social media of the bodies of the four boys - identified as Zakaria Ahed Bakr, 10, Ahed Atef Bakr, 10, Mohammed Ramez Bakr, 11, and Ismail Mohammed Bakr, 9 - with most outlets blurring or obscuring the grisly imagery.
