UNICEF Report on Deadliest Year for Children in the West Bank
UNICEF's report highlighted that the past year was the most fatal for children in the West Bank, pointing towards a concerning trend fueled by escalating violence between settlers, IDF, and civilians. The observed increase in air strikes, drone strikes, and helicopter attacks has intensified the situation. The justification of the violence by linking it to fighting Hamas is deemed invalid, considering the absence of Hamas influence in the West Bank. This rationalization is criticized for overlooking the mounting casualties among innocent civilians and the significant rise in settlement expansions. The act of charging individuals for the demolition of their own homes in East Jerusalem, even targeting peace activists, further exemplifies the harsh reality faced by non-Jewish residents in the region.
