Israeli forces, settlers killed 235 children in West Bank since 7 Oct 2023, report says

An AFP report states that Israeli forces have killed 235 Palestinian children and teenagers in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, including a seven-month-old infant. The report highlights that killings by Israeli forces have increased significantly compared to the previous 17-year average of one death per month. Five of the victims were killed by Israeli settlers, according to B'Tselem, an Israeli human rights organization. The Palestinian Authority's Colonisation and Wall Resistance Commission reported 250 deaths during the same period. One case involved the shooting of a seven-month-old infant, Sam Abu Haikal, in Hebron, with his mother also injured. The incident underscores concerns about civilian casualties and the impact on families.
