Israeli forces killed three Palestinian children during a military incursion into Nour Shams refugee camp that lasted more than two days.
Jihad Nyaz Naser Zandiq, 15, Ali Mohammad Ali Abdullah, 17, and Qais Fathi Ibrahim Nasrullah, 14, were killed by Israeli forces on April 19 during a 54-hour military incursion into Nour Shams refugee camp, near Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank, according to documentation collected by Defense for Children International - Palestine.
Israeli forces shot Jihad and Qais with live ammunition while shrapnel from an Israeli-fired shell killed Ali. Israeli forces deliberately blocked Palestinian ambulances from reaching wounded Palestinians for the entire duration of the military incursion.
“The Israeli military invasion into Nour Shams refugee camp marks the deadliest days in the occupied West Bank since the Second Intifada,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, accountability program director at DCIP. “Israeli forces viciously targeted Palestinian children with deadly force and destroyed civilian infrastructure throughout the camp, amounting to collective punishment in violation of international law.”

Maybe Isreal killing children on multiple occasions is actually newsworthy and people need to hear about it so it’s not brushed under the rug by the government…

“Continual coverage can desensitize us so the correct thing to do is not report on it at all so we can be sensitive to an issue we do not know about”

That’s exactly what Israel wants, to normalize the slaughter of Palestinians. We can’t let them get away with that, we need to keep calling them out.
