"Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted
Palestinian children, resulting in genocide and atrocity crimes in the Gaza
Strip and war crimes in the West Bank, a UN independent commission of
inquiry said in its latest report released today."

Srinivasan Muralidhar, Chair of the Independent International Commission of
Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,
and Israel:
?Today, the Commission has released a 100-page report documenting
violations and crimes committed by Israel against Palestinian children in
the occupied Palestinian territory since 7th October 2023 until 31st March
2026.
Children are being killed mainly in two ways. One, through airstrikes using
high-yield explosives with wide area effects. And second, using
quadcopters, drones, and sniper rifles that specifically target and kill
children. To their head and upper body.
Five teenagers, a girl, and four boys, all aged 16 or 17, went early that
Saturday morning to Zikim Beach. Presumably they were having an early
morning at the beach, going there maybe to swim, at least enjoying
themselves. When a Hamas boat arrived at the beach and gunfire commenced.
The five teenagers fled to a toilet block seeking safety there. They were
joined by an adult fisherman and also by an Israeli soldier who sought to
defend them. Unsuccessfully. The soldier was killed, the fisherman was
killed, and all five children. A girl, four boys were killed."

Chris Sidoti, Commissioner of the Independent International Commission of
Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,
and Israel:
?A 14-year-old boy, he was shot by an Israeli military patrol as he was
leaving his house. The patrol had been in the area, but at the time there
had been no fighting taking place. He was shot, badly injured and was lying
on the ground. He was surrounded by a company of Israeli soldiers who were
chatting and probably some of them smoking. Over a period of 45 minutes,
while this 14-year-old boy bled to death.
His mother was watching from the house that he'd just left, and as the
child sought to leave the house, so as the mother sought to leave the house
to go to the child to rescue him or attend to him, she was shot at by the
Israeli military patrol.
There can be no doubt in anyone who reads today's report that every
international legal norm has been violated by the actions of the Israeli
authorities towards Palestinian children and they need to be held
accountable.?
