[image description: below the tweet is an illustration of multiple palestinian children's legs, all varying in height, shoes and outfit. some are bare foot and appear to be baby legs. the caption on the side reads:

"More than 1,000 children in Gaza have had one or both legs amputated because of Israeli attacks. Many of the amputations were performed without anesthesia. Source: (in caps) Unicef (end caps) Dec, 2023."

the next image is just text that reads:

"For years, Israeli soldiers have specifically targeted Palestinian legs.

'I know exactly how many knees I've hit' an IDF sniper told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in 2020.

The soldier explained,

'there was a story about one sniper who had 11 knees all told, and people thought no one could outdo him. And then I brought in seven or eight knees in one day.'

Another sniper explained 'you see the leg even with the eye, and with a telescopic lens that enlarges to the power of 10, you can actually see the tendons'. /end id]
