Israel's military under fire: innocent civilians in their sights!

Nur Shams, Westjordanland, Palästina - The situation in the occupied West Bank continues to escalate, as the Israeli army recently announced on Sunday. During one use, several alleged militant Palestinians were killed in only shams. However, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reports on a tragic civilian who fell victim to a pregnant 23-year-old. Sundos Jamal Mohammed Shalabi, who was in the eighth month of pregnancy, was shot when she tried to leave her home. Her unborn child did not survive and her husband suffered serious injuries. Although the Israeli military examines the circumstances, the exact details of the incident remain unclear. A 21-year-old was killed in a further incident, while Israeli forces searched for a house for extremists and asked the residents to leave the building. The military said it was unfortunate that civilians had died. These tragic events are in the context of a comprehensive anti-terrorist mission that Israel started after an increase in violence in the West Bank, as the Krone reported .

fatal violence against children

The increase in Palestinian children by the Israeli forces is particularly alarming. Human Rights Watch recently pointed out that 34 Palestinian children in the West Bank have already been killed by Israeli security forces, since the beginning of the year - this could be the deadliest year for Palestinians in 2023: inside at this age. No legal reason for the use of fatal violence against many of these children was found. A much tragic incident was the killing of Mahmoud Al-Sadi, who was shot on the way to school. Such incidents were not isolated cases, but reflected a systematic pattern of Israeli violence, which also from organizations such as Human Rights Watch is documented. The organization demanded that Israel be put on the "list of shame" of the UN, a list of actors who commit serious human rights violations against children in armed conflicts.

The continuing violence and the hardly -guessed killings have led to a climate of fear, in which Palestinian children are seriously at risk in their everyday situation. Human rights activists and experts warn without urgent measures against these shocking incidents and without pressure from international allies.
