“In 2024, Israel’s genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza reached catastrophic proportions. Relentless aerial bombardments, ground invasions, and siege tactics deliberately targeted Palestinian civilians, leaving children to suffer the most,” DCIP’s report says.

The number of Palestinian children detained in Israeli prisons also reached a record high in 2024, the group said.

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers and settlers killed one Palestinian child every four days this year, “an escalation made possible by decades of impunity,” the group said.

Israel’s violence included using children as human shields “systematically” this year, as DCIP has documented throughout the genocide.

This includes an incident in March in which Israeli tanks surrounded a group of Palestinian children waiting in line for aid in Gaza City. Soldiers stripped the children and tied them up, depriving them of food and water and forcing them for an entire day to walk in front of tanks and in front of buildings that the military wanted to enter, as DCIP found.

Israeli forces’ weaponization of starvation, meanwhile, has put children, especially newborns and children with disabilities, at heightened risk, with babies as young as two months old starving to death, the group said; in August, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor found that Israel killed 210 newborn babies a month on average in Gaza since the beginning of the genocide.

It's almost like every right wing accusation is a confession or something🤔🤔🤔

But but but but I thought it was Hamas that uses human shields and not the blameless and always faultless IDF!!!

I guess this makes it acceptable for Hamas to bomb anywhere that they suspect there might be Israeli weapons caches even if they are in heavily populated civilian areas. That was why it was okay for Israel to do it, right? Because Hamas was using human shields as cover?

I mean, if you're going to believe this article based on testimony of the victims you may as well believe the IDF.

That's insane to think the testimonies of the victims of a genocide are in anyway equivalent to the routine lies and fabrications of the organization perpetuating the genocide

There are some IDF veterans that you can believe, ones that have spoken out about the war crimes they now regret and have seen taken place. They have an entire organization dedicated to speaking out against the war crimes, occupation, and genocide. It's called Breaking The Silence.

Ah yes, because victims never tell the truth, right? RIGHT???

This isn't new at all. It's only new to those that haven't been paying attention to Israel's shenanigans for decades now. They've been doing this since I can remember.
