Occupation Has Killed Six Children Since the Beginning of This Year

Defense for Children Palestine MOVEMENT said that since the beginning of the year, Israeli occupying forces have killed six children, wounded dozens and arrested hundreds in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the Palestinian children’s day, which falls on the fifth of April of each year, the movement highlighted the psychological trauma inflicted by hundreds of children due to the policy of collective punishment practiced by the occupation authorities, such as raiding houses, demolitions, siege on the Gaza Strip, arrests and the accompanying torture and ill-treatment.
