Israel deliberately targeted children in Gaza last summer, according to a new report by Defence for Children International-Palestine (DCI-Palestine).
Of the 2,220 Palestinians killed during Israel’s 51-day bombing
campaign, at least 1,492 were civilians, including at least 547
children.
A total of 535 of those children were killed as a direct result of
Israeli attacks. Moreover, 68 percent of children Israel killed in Gaza
were under the age of twelve, according to the report.
