What sin did the children of Palestine commit?
With the continuation of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the merciless war machine that throws its deadly missiles without mercy, and targets all segments of civil society, is a tool for carrying out a war of crimes unprecedented in history, when innocent childhood in Gaza is exposed to murder, violence, intimidation and intimidation.
Yesterday, Israel bombed Al-Jaouni School in the Nuseirat camp in the middle of the Gaza Strip. It is a school that accommodates the largest number of displaced people. Although UNRWA provides the Israeli army twice a day with the coordinates of the schools housing displaced people, the army committed a new crime that claimed more lives. 16 killed and 50 others injured, most of them children.
There is no justification for targeting schools for the displaced and killing civilians, especially children, except that Israel seems to love shedding Palestinian blood and is creative in killing civilians and targeting civilian facilities, putting the Gaza Strip in a catastrophic and dangerous situation.
Is it reasonable for a child to rise while in her father’s arms to breathe her last, and is it permissible for Israel to exploit the weakness and inability of innocent children to defend themselves, to kill them in this tragic manner?
These aggressive actions carried out by Israel are very serious war crimes, and are considered among the most prominent violations of the laws of war that Israel does not abide by, as it does not differentiate at all between civilian and military facilities and targets, and does not care at all about the duty to protect civilians guaranteed by all customs and laws. International..
Israel systematically killed childhood in the Gaza Strip, where children paid a heavy price as a result of this criminal war. Every hour, Israel kills four children, and more than 45,000 children are left without a parent or one of them. The number of child martyrs is 44 percent of the total number of martyrs. The sector, in statistics that raise concern, is added to the war of starvation against children and their martyrdom as a result of drought, diseases, and lack of water, food, and medicine.
International humanitarian law requires Israel to immediately stop targeting and killing civilians, especially children, and to refrain from committing these crimes and massacres. Legal and international bodies have the responsibility to protect the children and civilians of Palestine, punish Israel, and hold accountable the perpetrators of these organized crimes that aim to kill and exterminate the Palestinian people.
