New report highlights dozens of chilling cases in which Israeli forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children since 7 October.

Report by DCI Palestine

[workersolidarity]

[ 📹 A Palestinian man trying to recover the body of a murdered civilian in the middle of a street in Gaza is shot and killed by an Israeli sniper for his efforts. 🗺️ A map published by OCHA details the various crossings into Gaza, showing most are closed by the occupation, while the approach of the Mediterranean is blockaded by the Israeli occupation army. The few remaining crossings are only opened at the rare discretion of the Israeli authorities. ]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

DAY 223: MORE BRIGADES JOIN RAFAH OP, PALESTINIAN CHILDREN TORTURED BY OCCUPATION FORCES, CROSSINGS REMAIN CLOSED WHILE MASS MURDER CONTINUES IN GAZA

On 223rd day of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) committed a total of 4 new massacres of Palestinian families, resulting in the deaths of more than 39 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, while at least another 64 others were wounded over the previous 24-hours.

It should be noted that as a result of the constant Israeli bombardment of Gaza's healthcare system, infrastructure, residential and commercial buildings, local paramedic and civil defense crews are unable to recover countless hundreds, even thousands of victims who remain trapped under the rubble, or who's bodies remain strewn across the streets of Gaza.

This leaves the official death toll vastly undercounted, as Gaza's healthcare officials are unable to accurately tally those killed and maimed in this genocide, which must be kept in mind when considering the scale of the mass murder.

"For days now, crossings into Gaza have been closed, unsafe to access or not logistically viable."

This is according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Palestine division.

OCHA goes on to add that "aid distribution is almost impossible, with no regular fuel imports, unstable telecommunications and ongoing fighting."

"The impact is devastating for over 2 million people," OCHA added.

On the 7th of May, the Israeli occupation army stormed the Rafah and Karm Abu Salem border crossings, taking control over the Palestinian side of the crossings, immediately closing the two crossings and preventing the passage of humanitarian aid, including food, fuel and medical supplies.

As a result of the closing of the two crossings, the slow drip of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip has further slowed to a hobbled crawl, forcing more than two million Palestinians into extreme food insecurity, while Gaza's healthcare system faces a looming catastrophe as hospitals run out of fuel and medical supplies.

In the meantime, the Defense for Children International (DCI), an NGO established to protect the Rights of children as articulated by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), issued a statement which accused the Israeli occupation army of continuing to "mistreat and torture the Palestinian children they arrest in a systemic and widespread manner."

The children's rights organization has documented cases of abuse of Palestinian children detained by the occupation forces, including the story of the child Majd Radwan (14yo), who describes his treatment at the hands of Zionist soldiers.

According to the testimony given by Majd Radwan, he was with a group of friends in neighborhoods west of the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya and south of Tulkarm, in the west of the occupied West Bank, when they were approached and chased by Israeli military vehicles.

Majd's friends managed to get away, while Majd himself stopped running after fearing he might be trampled by the Israeli military vehicles.

After stopping, Majd told DCI that around 10 Israeli soldiers got out of the two military vehicles, pointing their weapons at him before approaching him and beginning to kick and hit him.

"Then one of them came forward and kicked me in the face with his foot, and I fell to the ground. He continued to assault me with severe beatings for about 30 continuous minutes. He was hitting me with the butt of his gun, his hands, and his feet, and I was screaming. I cried from fear and pain, then he tied my hands with a single plastic tie to the back and blindfolded me, then he pushed me into one of the military jeeps and made me sit on its floor.”

Unfortunately, the abuse didn't stop there, following the initial assault, the child Majd was forced into one of the occupation military vehicles, where the abuse continued.

"Inside the jeep, two soldiers renewed their assault on me, severely beating me all over my body. One of them put the front of his military butt [of his gun] in my mouth, simultaneously stomping on my chest with his other foot. I was screaming and crying from intense pain and fear, and I felt like I was going to suffocate, and the assault on me continued."

"I was exhausted and could no longer cry or scream. I felt very thirsty, so I told the soldier about it, but he ignored my request and asked me to remain silent. After that, I was pulled and pushed into a military jeep, and there the assault on me was repeated. One of the soldiers said to me in Arabic, 'I want to break your hands and your feet' before he hit me hard on my hands and feet,” said the child Majd.

That was just the start of the abuse, occupation soldiers then took the boy to a police station in the settlement of "Emmanuel", where he was forced to stand for hours before being beaten yet again.

The child was further beaten, blindfolded, spit on, and sprayed with water while in Israeli detention, before being transferred to the Megiddo prison, beaten again, and then transferred to the Ofer Prison, where a lack of room led occupation forces to transfer the child back to another colony's prison.

For hours he was blindfolded, deprived of food and water, and deprived of access to bathrooms.

Eventually the child was brought to a village near the Ariel colony, where he was pushed unceremoniously from the vehicle and dumped in the street.

"I could not move or stand and remained on the ground until a Palestinian vehicle stopped next to me, and its driver took me to my town of Azzun after I told him what happened to me. There I was transferred to Azzun Governmental Hospital, where I received treatment and first aid, before I returned home."

This story is just one among thousands like it, where Palestinian children are abducted by the Israeli occupation forces, abused and mistreated, and often imprisoned for years at a time on trumped-up charges, such as throwing rocks towards army vehicles.

In other news today, 5 Israeli soldiers were killed, and 7 wounded, following a friendly fire incident near Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip.

According to reporting in the Israeli media, 5 occupation soldiers were killed and 7 wounded, three critically, following the firing of two artillery shells by an Israeli tank on a building occupied by the 202nd Battalion of the Israeli Paratroopers Brigade, an Ultra-Orthodox company.

The five soldiers killed were:

☠️ Cpt. Roy Beit Yaakov, 22, from Eli

☠️ Staff Sgt. Gilad Arye Boim, 22, from Karnei Shomron

☠️ Sgt. Daniel Chemu, 20, from Tiberias

☠️ Sgt. Ilan Cohen, 20, from Karmiel

☠️ Staff Sgt. Betzalel David Shashuah, 21, from Tel Aviv

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued their violent shelling of various axis of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday night and into Thursday, killing and wounding dozens of Palestinians while targeting them in their homes, vehicles, and in the streets of Gaza.

The occupation continued to expand ground operations in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, where more than a million Palestinians have gathered to take shelter from the Israeli bombardment, but are now facing further displacement and violence as occupation forces move deeper into the city and expand their bombing and shelling of various neighborhoods.

Israeli tanks also advance deeper into the city, with the 89th Commando Brigade being introduced to the fighting, joining the 401st Brigade and the Givati Brigade in their assault on the southern Governate of Rafah.

In on example, occupation forces bombed a house belonging to the Al-Halaqawi family in central Rafah, near the Rabaa School, murdering four Palestinian civilians and wounding several others.

IOF Merkava tanks advanced towards the Eastern Cemetery area, in conjuction with an advance towards the Mall of Arabia, as well as the Al-Salam neighborhood, east of Rafah, while continuous artillery shelling led to the deaths of four more civilians.

Occupation warplanes further bombarded the tents of displaced Palestinian families in the village of Abasan, east of Rafah, also in the southern Gaza Strip.

Earlier on Wednesday night, a civilian was killed as a result of an Israeli bombing on Aed al-Bashiti Street in central Rafah.

In another strike, occupation fighter jets bombed a Palestinian home in the Al-Husaynat neighborhood, east of Rafah, while the Zionist army went on to bomb several residential homes belonging to civilians in the Al-Nasr and Brazil neighborhoods of Rafah City.

Yet another assault killed a civilian, and wounded several others, after Israeli aircraft bombed the Al-Awda roundabout in central Rafah, while the artillery shelling targeted the neighborhoods of Khirbet al-Adas and Al-Geneina.

The bombardment of the occupation's aircraft also targeted several neighborhoods in the village of Abasan, as well as targeting Khan Yunis.

A civilian was also shot with the live bullets of Israeli soldiers' gunfire in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip.

In another raid, IOF warplanes bombed an apartment complex in Tower 6 of the Ain Jalut Towers, east of the Nuseirat Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, wounding a number of Palestinians.

Further occupation artillery shelling hammered the axis extending from the village of Al-Mughraqa to the city of Al-Zahra'a, north of the Nuseirat Camp, and into the Wadi Gaza area.

In another attack, occupation soldiers opened fire on a gathering of civilians west of Al-Zahra'a, killing one resident and wounding several others.

Meanwhile, in Gaza's north, violent airstrikes and artillery shelling pummeled Gaza City, Jabalia and Beit Lahiya, resulting in a number of casualties.

Another atrocity was committed by the Zionist occupation army in a bombing of a residential home belonging to the Journalist Hail Al-Najjar, on Old Gaza Street in Jabalia, resulting in the death of the journalist along, with his entire family.

IOF warplanes similarly bombed a residential home belonging to the Asalia family, also on Old Gaza Street, in the city of Jabalia, in Gaza's north.

Yet another horrific crime was committed when occupation fighter jets bombed a gathering of civilians at the Al-Oyoun intersection on Al-Jalaa Street, southwest of Gaza City, after which, the pieces and parts of the bodies of 4 victims were brought to the Baptist Hospital, in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Atrocious crimes were also recorded following the bombing of Al-Diri family home, in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City, resulting in a number of casualties, while two members of the Al-Ghafri family were also killed after their home was bombed in central Gaza City.

Following the withdrawal of the occupation army from the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, scenes of extreme destruction of Palestinian homes were recorded, including the destruction of five displacement centers, and the widespread destruction of local infrastructure, including streets.

Local medical sources are also reporting the murder of more than 30 civilians just since this morning, resulting from the bombardment of Gaza City by the aircraft of the Israeli occupation forces.

Included were the deaths of at least 10 children as occupation warplanes targeted the homes of the Al-Ghafri, Jahjouh and Al-Dalu families in the areas of Abu Iskander, Al-Sidra and Al-Sahaba Streets.

Five civilians were also wounded after an Israeli drone targeted the Abu Bakr Al-Saddiq kindergarten in the Al-Faluga area of Jabalia, in Gaza's north.

As a result of the Israeli occupation's ongoing special genocide operation in the Gaza Strip, the current death toll has risen to exceed 35'272 Palestinians killed, including at least 15'103 children and over 10'000 women, while another 79'205 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression, beginning with the events of October 7th, 2023.

Defense for Children International-Palestine writes:

Rafat Omar Ahmad Khamayseh, 15, was shot by Israeli special forces while leaving his grandfather’s house in Jenin refugee camp around 7:30 p.m. on September 19, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine. As he left the house, Rafat saw Israeli special forces exiting three Palestinian licensed cars and surround the home of the father of a Palestinian man wanted for arrest. Rafat fled, yelling, “Special forces! Special forces!” One Israeli soldier chased Rafat and shot him in the abdomen from a distance of 10 meters (33 feet).    

While nearly all of the reports on the Jenin incident identify Khamayseh as being 22 years old, photos indicate that he probably really was 15.

And that he was not exactly an innocent child.

Yet even if we take DCI-P at their word that all he was doing was warning terrorists that the IDF was there, that makes him legally a militant and a legitimate military target.

The US Department of Defense Law of War Manual (revised July 2023) says that a civilian is considered to be taking a direct part in hostilities when he or she is "acting as a guide or lookout for combatants conducting military operations." 

The ICRC agrees. In its document "Interpretive Guidance on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities Under International Humanitarian Law" it says,  "a person serving as one of several lookouts during an ambush would certainly be taking a direct part in hostilities although his contribution may not be indispensable to the causation of harm."

This is exactly what DCI-P is admitting that Khamayseh was doing. His warning endangered the Israeli forces and therefore he became a combatant and legitimate target, no matter what his age.

About Me

I decided to finally make one of these, but frankly I have no idea what I'm doing!

My name is Blue, she/her, and I'm a lesbian. I like lots of things, but I love brownies, chemistry, and music in particular. I have been cursed with extreme anxiety, which on this site only affects my ability to interact with people so if I interact with you... You're lucky! You're always welcome to talk to me first, because I will almost never initiate conversation but I do enjoy talking to people sometimes! I also love receiving asks!

Some of my interests include:

• Drumcorps! I love, love, love DCI, especially The Troopers and Phantom Regiment.

• FMAB! Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is one of my favorite animes ever and I've rewatched it a million times. My favorite character is Olivier Armstrong.

• Music from 80s artists, European artists, and the occasional modern pop singer. Pat Benatar is my absolute favorite singer, closely followed by the band Måneskin.

• I also like some of Taylor Swift's music, but I am not under the impression that she is without fault... I criticize her carbon emissions as much as the next guy.

• Dungeon Meshi. I'm a very low-key fan; I've seen the anime and I really liked it and am excited for the next season!

• This may sound weird, but I love Princess Diana. I think she's incredibly interesting and drop dead gorgeous. The same can be said about Julie Andrews.

• EPIC The Musical!!! Oh my goodness this musical has me rolling on the floor. I genuinely love it so much.

Warnings/Blog info:

• I do post about potentially triggering content on occasion, and I usually don't tag but I am considering beginning to tag. That means I don't want people upset with me because I didn't tag something triggering. Gore, death, violence, etc is not usually reblogged UNLESS it is related to a fandom I am in and is used in the context of that media.

• I try not to reblog things related to politics, but I will occasionally if I think it's important.

• I am NOT religious, but was raised Christian. I prefer not to discuss religion with people but I am willing to if you are respectful of my opinions.

• I am pro-Palestine. I do not support the terrorist groups from either country, I support the innocent civilians being killed for doing nothing.

• I shit post a lot, so if you're easily annoyed by random blurbs of text that aren't related to anything specific my blog is not for you.

DNI: homophobes, transphobes, TERFS, Trump supporters, zionists, evolution deniers, hateful people in general, etc

fascism is fascism.

and it doesn’t matter who is on what end of the stick.

when 2 fascist argue about different types of fascism its still fascism.

when hitler argue with stalin about who should die they’re both wrong and they’re still fascists.

fascist poc are just as fascist as queet fascist and they’re both just as fascist as a white straight fascist.

fascism has no excuse!

excusing fascism is no better than supporting fascism!

ignoring fascism is no better than supporting fascism!

other people suffering doesn’t excuse fascism!

just like you can’t ignore someone who’s starving in africa just because someone else is dying from cancer, you can’t ignore palestinian people suffering just because israeli people suffer too!

why is this edgy?

or radical?

why can’t we talk about an issue that’s happening right now just because another issue is also happening right now?

especially when both issues are intertwined!

supporting human rights for palestinian doesn’t mean supporting hamas or terror!

and it doesn’t mean being against israel or jews!

not talking about what everyone else is talking about and instead talking about a problem they try to hide isn’t ignoring the first problem!

hamas’ atrocities are all over the israeli media, we don’t need another person talking about it!

israel’s atrocities aren’t.

we need people to talk about it!!

people keep forgetting the poem “first they came” which I have the unfortune to bring up way too much.

why did you cared when israel threatened the queer’s human rights,

and cared when israel threatened the poc’s human rights

but all of a sudden you don’t care when they actively murdering palestinian people which includes women and children!!

the fact that they jumped to another minority doesn’t mean they won’t be back for you.

if you really want to play the “who’s having it worse” game?

according to standwithus(around 18 hours ago) hamas murdered 1400+ israeli civilians

according to DCI palestine(october 14th) 724 palestinian chilsren were murdered by israeli forces.

according to the CNN(octover 15th) 2600+ people been murdered by israeli forces

almost double the israeli fatalities!!

stop using the “hamas is a terror organization” card to defend israeli massacre

stop using the “israel is oppressing gaza and palestine” card to defend the hamas massacre

this isn’t a fight about how’s having it worse

this is a fight for human rights

yes, hamas is a terror organization

that doesn’t mean israel is innocent.

that’s the whole point im trying to make but people keep putting stuff in my mouth(metaphorically)

im not pro hamas

i think hamas should go to jail

im even willing to look away if they get the death penalty!!

all i want is to bring to the table what people are ignoring.

[22 March 2012]

Palestinians from the West Bank have been living under Israeli military law and prosecuted in military courts. The United Nations (UN) estimates that during the last 44 years, around 726,000 Palestinian men, women and children have been prosecuted and detained under these emergency laws. In the past 11 years alone, around 7,500 children, some as young as 12 years, are estimated to have been detained, interrogated, and imprisoned within this system. This averages out at between 500-700 children per year, or nearly two children, each and every day.

A new, important yet disturbing report published on Tuesday by Defence for Children International - Palestine section has found that Israel’s routine arrests, detentions, interrogations, abuses and torture of Palestinian children are in breach of various UN and international laws, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention against Torture, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, all of which have been ratified by Israel.

Based on the testimonies of more than 300 children interviewed between 2008 and 2012, DCI-Palestine’s report states in the summary that “there is a systematic pattern of ill-treatment, and in some cases torture, of children held in the military detention system, with the majority of the abuse occurring during the first 48 hours.” 3 of the 311 children who provided testimonies were arrested while they under 11 years old, but the majority of the children interviewed were detained while they were 16 and 17 years old.

"Following the dismissal earlier this year of a federal lawsuit accusing senior Biden administration officials of failing to prevent Israel's U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Monday began hearing an expedited appeal by Palestinian plaintiffs in the case.

Arguing that U.S. leaders "have a legal duty to prevent, and not further," genocide, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) first filed a lawsuit last November in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Oakland on behalf of the rights groups Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCI-P) and al-Haq, as well as a group of individual Palestinians in Gaza and the United States."
