Geneva, June 27 (RHC)-- A notable children's rights organization says as many as 15 Palestinian children have been killed so far in 2022 at the hands of the Israeli forces.  The Geneva-based Defense for Children International’s Palestine chapter (DCI-P) presented the figure in a report on Sunday.  The report said the occupying regime had been intensifying its aggression against minors in the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank, and the occupied holy city of al-Quds since the start of the year.

The fatalities, it said, included five children, whom the occupying regime’s forces have slain in the Palestinian city of Jenin, which is located in the northern part of the West Bank.

So far this year, the regime has also arrested 17 Palestinian children during raids on their homes in Jenin, and injured at least six other Palestinian minors.  At least sixteen Palestinian children have, meanwhile, been rendered homeless following the forces’ demolition of their homes across Jenin.

“Israel continues to enjoy impunity and protection for its crimes against Palestinian children, which encourages it to further kill, arrest, and injure Palestinian children,” the organization said.

Support by the United States, Israel’s biggest ally, has on numerous occasions helped the regime evade accountability for its rampant and deadly crimes against Palestinians on the international stage.
