UN lists Israel’s ‘grave’ violations against Palestinian kids in 2020
The United Nations catalogues numerous “grave” violations, including many deadly ones, by the Israeli regime against Palestinian children across the Palestinian territories in 2020.
The numbers came up in the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ annual report on “children and armed conflict,” that was released on Monday.
The violations took place against children in the Israeli-blockaded Gaza Strip, the Tel Aviv-besieged West Bank, and the rest of the occupied territories throughout last year.
They targeted 340 Palestinian youngsters, including seven who were killed at the hands of the regime’s forces, the report said. The fatalities were caused “by live ammunition (6) and physical assault during arrest (1),” it noted.
“The United Nations verified the detention of 361 Palestinian children for alleged security offenses by Israeli forces,” said the document.
“Eighty-seven children reported ill-treatment and breaches of due process by Israeli forces while in detention, with 83 percent reporting physical violence,” it read.
The report also said the UN had verified 30 attacks on schools and hospitals attributed to Israeli forces and illegal Israeli settlers.
Tel Aviv has secured notoriety as an infanticidal regime. The disrepute is owed to its slaying countless Palestinian children during either wholesale wars, regular military attacks, or police brutality, throughout its decades-long occupation and aggression targeting the Palestinian territories.
The 2020’s numbers hardly keep up with those that have been reported from the regime’s indiscriminate violence against Palestinians so far this year.
At least some 66 children were killed among more than 250 Palestinians, during an 11-day war that the regime waged against the coastal enclave earlier this year.
