Killings of Palestinian children are soaring in the West Bank.

Today's story out of the West Bank is that a group of Israeli solders entered a hospital in Jenin disguised as doctors, nurses, and patients, and proceeded to execute three men.

"Israel has killed nearly 900 Palestinians since ICJ order to prevent acts of Genocide

In the week since the International Court of Justice ruled that the Israeli government is plausibly committing genocide and ordered it to prevent potential further acts of genocide, Israeli forces have only continued committing atrocities against Palestinians.
Buoyed by the staying support of American officials, Israeli forces have killed at least 874 Palestinians and injured at least 1,490 in Gaza since last week’s ICJ ruling, according to Palestinian Health Ministry figures from Saturday, January 27, to Friday, February 2. That’s not to mention other acts of Israeli violence in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. The loss of life should not be dismissed as “collateral damage,” contrary to what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has saidOpens in a new tab."

"Mass Grave in Gaza Points to “Execution-Style” Killings by Israeli Forces

Palestinian officials are accusing Israeli forces of carrying out “execution-style” killings in Gaza after the discovery of a mass grave containing at least 30 decomposing bodies. Some of the victims were blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs with zip ties. The bodies were found on the grounds of a school in Beit Lahia. Al Jazeera spoke to one man who helped discover the bodies.
Palestinian man: “Inside the schoolyard, we were shocked to find the dead bodies. Those are Palestinian civilians, blindfolded and handcuffed at the back. The dead bodies were kept inside black plastic bags.”

The Israeli attack on the kindergarten was reported by the official Palestinian news agency, WAFA, citing local and medical sources in the Strip.
The sources reported casualties, including two young children, and dozens of injuries after Israeli warplanes targeted the kindergarten, which has been used as a refuge for displaced people fleeing the Israeli aggression in other regions of the enclave."

Most will have been killed by missile strikes I'd guess. Strikes with weapons funded by the US.

How many children were killed in Iraq and Syria when the US were bombing the sh1t out of those countries? Where's the outrage for that?

I'm sorry, but this just reads like pure propaganda. I can't take it seriously. Schools, hospitals & kindergartens seem to be the only places that Israelis are killing 'civilians' according to the Palestinaian press coordinators. Sheer nonsense, I hazard a guess. Besides which, the vast majority of civilians are indoctrinated from birth to hate Jews & call for the destruction of Israel, so it's highly likely that these 'civilians' are active participants in the war.

It all starts with Hamas and is Rep. Brian Mast is getting at with his line of questioning in the video.

Here's some news I found on Gaza this week:

"More than 12,300 Palestinian minors have been killed in Israel’s war in Gaza, health officials say

Minors made up about 47% of the total number of 28,176 Palestinians killed so far, the ministry said. About 8,400 women were also among those killed."

"Israel blocks food aid destined for Gaza at the Port of Ashdod

At the Port of Ashdod, some 30 kilometers north of Gaza, Israel has blocked a shipment of United Nations food aid, intended to feed over a million Gazans for a month. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Tuesday, February 13, he had issued a directive blocking the 1,049 containers, which mainly contain flour, but also cooking oil, chickpeas, sugar and rice. The UN was set to distribute these supplies in and around the city of Rafah, where more than half of Gaza's inhabitants are caught between the Egyptian border and Israeli infantry."

If only HAMAS had not attacked Israel, or at the very least, surrender and stop putting children and civilians in front of them. War is hell.

Ummm...He's talking about the West Bank...children killed in the West Bank by the occupiers...not the Gaza Strip...the West Bank is governed by the Palestinian Authority...not Hamas...

All the same.

This is very disturbing to say the least. I'm not seeing as much condemnation for this as one might expect, and because of that I think it will keep happening.

You do know they use kids as young as like 7 to be scouts with many carrying guns like it's a game to them. They have them playing war games around that age too, so they must think it is fun until they are shot.

Its called selective outrage.

Here's what I found this week:

"Palestinian women, girls sexually assaulted by Israeli forces, UN experts raise concern

United Nation's (UN) experts have raised concern over reports of human rights violations against Palestinian women and girls in Gaza and the occupied West Bank since Israel launched its war on Gaza on October 7.
In a statement on Monday, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said that it had received information that Palestinian women and girls have been subjected to multiple forms of sexual assault at the hands of Israeli army officers, reported Al Jazeera.
"We are particularly distressed by reports that Palestinian women and girls in detention have been subjected to multiple forms of sexual assault, such as being stripped naked and searched by male Israeli army officers. At least two female Palestinian detainees were reportedly raped while others were reportedly threatened with rape and sexual violence," the UN experts said."

"Two-month-old Palestinian boy dies of hunger amid Israel’s war on Gaza

A two-month-old Palestinian boy has died from starvation in northern Gaza, according to media reports, days after the United Nations warned of an “explosion” in child deaths due to Israel’s war on the besieged enclave.

"US again vetoes Gaza cease-fire resolution at UN Security Council

The United States was the lone veto against a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza on Tuesday, marking the third time Washington has opposed such a measure.
The vote on the resolution drafted by Algeria was 13-1, with the U.K. abstaining, on the 15-member council. The veto puts the U.S. increasingly out of step on the world stage as it faces criticism for its support for Israel in the campaign against Hamas in Gaza, launched after the militant group’s deadly Oct. 7. assault that killed some 1,200 people. It also came a day after Washington floated its own rival resolution, calling for a temporary cease-fire."

"Relatives in Lebanon mourn victims of Israeli strikes, including a 5-year-old girl

Israel and the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon have exchanged attacks since the start of the war in Gaza in October, while keeping the fighting somewhat contained to areas near the countries' shared border. A stretch of about 3 miles of borderland has become a war zone, pushing more than 87,000 residents to flee their homes in southern Lebanon, according to the country's Public Health Ministry.
The fighting has also affected Israeli communities across the border, leading many residents to evacuate there as well. The conflict has left homes and civilian infrastructure destroyed on both sides."

"Israel Not Complying with World Court Order in Genocide Case

The Israeli government has failed to comply with at least one measure in the legally binding order from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in South Africa’s genocide case, Human Rights Watch said today. Citing warnings about “catastrophic conditions” in Gaza, the court ordered Israel on January 26, 2024, to “take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian aid,” and to report back on its compliance to the specific measures “within one month.”
One month later, however, Israel continues to obstruct the provision of basic services and the entry and distribution within Gaza of fuel and lifesaving aid, acts of collective punishment that amount to war crimes and include the use of starvation of civilians as a weapon of war. Fewer trucks have entered Gaza and fewer aid missions have been permitted to reach northern Gaza in the several weeks since the ruling than in the weeks preceding it, according to United Nations Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)."

Every morning, Mohammed Zo'rab, 11, goes out into the southern Gaza city of Rafah on a mission.
