Israeli Genocide Deliberately Targeting Palestinian Children

A United Nations report was issued today on the Israeli occupation and continuing genocide in Palestine.
It found that Israeli authorities and security forces are deliberately targeting Palestinian children resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip and war crimes in the West Bank, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory said in a new report today.
The Commission, which already concluded last year that Israel had committed genocide against the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip, found that the intense scale and systematic nature of the Israeli military operations have continued, resulting in unprecedented death, injury and trauma of Palestinian children.
The Commission reiterates that the deliberate targeting of children is one of the key elements establishing genocidal intent of the Israeli authorities and security forces to destroy the Palestinian group, in whole or in part, in Gaza.
'The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces' said Srinivasan Muralidhar, Chair of the Commission. 'Even after the October 2025 ceasefire, children continue to be killed and seriously injured, with continued disregard by Israel for the ceasefire and for the protection owed to Palestinian children under international law.'
They found that Palestinian children have been arrested and subjected to torture and other severe forms of mistreatment in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, with no information on their whereabouts. Israeli security forces have also used sexual violence against children as part of the collective shaming and oppression, entrenched within a prolonged, ethnic, gendered, and intergenerational pattern of Israeli occupation and hostilities.
Israel’s targeting of neonatal and maternity care centers in Gaza have directly harmed the survival of newborns and Palestinians reproductive future, including rises in miscarriages, birth defects and lasting vulnerabilities among newborns, resulting in the destruction of Palestinian newborn life and the population’s continuity. Starvation imposed by Israel through blockade and siege have further caused the death of Palestinian children and severely impacted the health of many others, depriving them of essential nutrition and increasing disease risks amid reduced immunization, food insecurity and destroyed health services.
The Commission has identified military units within the Israeli security forces responsible for killing and injuring of Palestinian children and makes recommendations to Israel and to all Member States to ensure accountability for such crimes.
Criminally, there are still some defenders of Israel despite knowing all that we know and them committing almost every act of the 1948  conventions on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Not as bad as the NAZI's, but definitely in the same division and as well as hunting down the heinous  Israeli leadership overseeing this evil, anyone who has backed and armed the nation should also be held accountable.
