Ayed Abu Eqtaish, the Accountability Program Director at Defense for Children International in Palestine, discusses the findings in a newly released report entitled, "Targeting Childhood: Palestinian Children Killed By Israeli Forces and Settlers in the Occupied West Bank." On average, Israeli forces have killed a Palestinian child in the occupied West bank, including East Jerusalem, every two days since October 7, 2023. In Gaza, Israel has killed more than 16,000 children to date.
