Two girls shot in Gaza - BBC pieces together what happened and looks at dozens more child shootings
The BBC World Service has pieced together the stories of Layan al-Majdalawi, two, and Mira Tanboura, six, both killed in Gaza in separate incidents in November 2023, in areas where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was operating.
In response to our findings, the IDF said the details of Layan and Mira's cases had been recorded and "will be examined by the competent authorities". It added: "Intentional harm to civilians, especially children, is strictly prohibited."
Layan and Mira are just two of more than 160 cases of children shot in the war in Gaza, for whom we have gathered accounts.
We found that in 95 of these cases, the child had been shot in the head or chest. In 59 of those, we obtained testimony from eyewitnesses, either directly or via human rights organisations and medics. The witnesses alleged that 57 of these children were shot by the IDF, and two were shot by Palestinians - one in celebratory gunfire and the other in a gang conflict.
For the remaining 36 out of the 95 cases, we have no account of what happened. Israel bans foreign reporters from entering Gaza independently, and the destruction and displacement make gathering details difficult.
The International Committee of the Red Cross has told the BBC the world cannot accept as a "new normal" the type of warfare that allows so many children to be shot.

you're put of thread - as usual, digressing to hide your Zionist brutalities - don't blame me if in future I'll just delete the entire comment
DeleteI disagree that ayam out of thread. Your post was about child deaths blamed on Isaacs. As is my comment, which goes further to say how politicians are fooled about these deaths but don’t apologize.
DeleteBut this is your blog and if you decide I will go make my 2 shekels elsewhere, no hard feelings.
wakakakaka…
Delete'will go make my 2 shekels elsewhere'
Do that, mfer!
Remember too, no hard feeling.
Now this is real starvation...on a healthy ADULT HOSTAGE PRISONER. Not some random innocent child with pre-existing medical sickness held up and weaponised by healthy adult Gazan.
ReplyDeleteIsraeli hostage Rom Braslavski’s harrowing final video has been released by Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, days after the group claimed it lost contact with his captors. In the six-minute clip, Braslavski—frail and clearly suffering—details the dire conditions faced by hostages. The video’s release follows intense Israeli military operations in Gaza and comes amid growing backlash over the humanitarian crisis. Watch the video for more details.
Note: He didn't commit any crime, nor did he get any trial, he was imprisoned and starved simply because he is Isaac.
