West Bank: Spike in Israeli Killings of Palestinian Children
The Israeli military and border police forces are killing Palestinian children with virtually no recourse for accountability.
Last year, 2022, was the deadliest year for Palestinian children in the West Bank in 15 years, and 2023 is on track to meet or exceed 2022 levels.
“Israeli forces are gunning down Palestinian children living under occupation with increasing frequency,” said Bill Van Esveld, associate children’s rights director at Human Rights Watch.

Always two sides (or more) to a story ...
It is unfortunate that they chose to do what they did in a response to what a government did or random criminals did. Remember, the citizens of Israel had no gun rights so if anyone was using a gun on the people of the strip, they were criminals or government sanctioned. No excuse for slaughtering the people at the festival or other citizens in Israel. Hamas has been in charge of the Strip, elected to be, their action can only be seen as a terrorist attack. I completely do not like the situation and do not trust Israel one bit as well. Hamas, as a group supposedly leading Gaza, should of targeted a military spot or stepped up and negotiated properly like most leaders do, NOT slaughter those civilians. Hamas as well, should of been instructing and assisting its OWN citizens on evacuation the week they were given to move 15miles south (almost a month now) to be out of strike range once it was clear that Israel was going to strike back. HAMAS wanted to be the elected leader of the Strip, they were and they did what they did, I for one wont blame Israel for what they are doing now. DO feel bad and pray for those that are lost and have lost. Hamas will take the full blame for it all in my mind, as leaders in the area, the actual leader should be turned over for the crimes and Hamas scrubbed as a group that has any control over anything. If any one does violence on behalf of Hamas or Israel on our soil, they need to be gone gone gone. I may not have trust in those in charge of Leading the Jewish people but, I cant see an average jewish citizen running my daughter down in the street and cutting her head off because she aint them.
IDF has killed over 5,000 children in less than a month.
Your entire post smacks of hypocrisy.
Of course but, the difference is. Hamas brutally went in and face to face murdered each child willingly and knowingly each time, hamas gave no warning for them to evacuate the area because they were going to attack it. Every single person Hamas murdered in cold blood, they could of elected not to do so, each time. Unlike Israel that did give warning to evacuate and have been hitting Hamas targets. HAMAS, had nearly a week to assist its citizens to evacuate, most legit and responsible governments would of done just that. Hamas needs to be not a thing. You can not change my mind on that. HAMAS did what they did and had a week to evacuate its citizens and chose not to even assist its citizens but hide among them instead. SMART citizens did evac and responsible ones took their children with them.
