The Israeli occupation continues killing Palestinian children, in violation of international humanitarian law, which prohibits launching attacks that could result in killing or injuring civilians, or causing damage to civilian objects.
A Palestinian child died after being shot by the occupation forces (IOF) near Ramallah.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health issued a statement on the killing of the child, Mohamed Murad Ahmed Hoshiyah, 12, due to serious injuries he sustained about a week ago in Ramallah.
On June 14, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced that its ambulance crew had transported to the hospital “a 12-year-old child injured by live bullets in the abdomen, during the occupation forces’ storming of Al-Amari camp (in Ramallah),” describing his condition as “critical.” .
Various parts of the West Bank, including the city of Jerusalem, are witnessing daily raids and incursions into villages and towns by Israeli occupation forces, accompanied by beatings, arrests, and shooting and throwing gas bombs at Palestinians, in conjunction with repeated attacks by settlers.
The occupation’s aggression on the cities of the West Bank coincides with the 260th day of the occupation’s war on the Gaza Strip, which left tens of thousands dead and wounded, most of them women and children, in addition to massive destruction of infrastructure and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
The Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and human rights, as it exposes the lives and property of civilians to extreme danger and causes them great suffering.
This brutal aggression by the Israeli occupation necessitates the prosecution of those behind it to be brought to justice, as the unjustified killing of civilians and health care workers constitutes a war crime whose perpetrators are subject to accountability and trial before the International Criminal Court.
