Israeli forces have shot and killed 115 children in the West Bank in the past 10 months.
A Palestinian boy is looking outside a tent set on a road's median at a makeshift displacement camp set up in Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on August 13, 2024.Israel has majorly escalated its campaign of shooting and killing children in the occupied West Bank since October, a UN report says, as Israel carries out its deadliest campaign in the West Bank on record amid its genocide of Gaza.
The group says that Israeli forces have killed 115 Palestinian children with live ammunition since October, versus 39 killed by Israel in the prior 10-month period — with the latter death toll already a high number on its own. Meanwhile, 1,411 Palestinian children have been injured by Israeli gunfire, compared to 615 in the 10 months before October.
It is seemingly a policy of Israeli forces to target children with their guns. Many foreign doctors on medical tripshave noted that they have seen and treated many children shot in the head or heart by snipers. The U.S. has sent billions of dollars’ worth of weapons that Israeli forces are using to carry out such atrocities. Just last week in the U.S.’sto Israel, for instance, the U.S. provided Israel with yet more tank ammunition — the type of weapon that Israeli forces used to kill 6-year-old Hind Rajab and her 15-year-old cousin, Layan Hamada, in Gaza in January.
