The latest findings from the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry present shocking and weighty allegations regarding the ongoing Gaza conflict, highlighting the deliberate targeting and killing of Palestinian children by Israeli security forces, according to the writer.
The latest findings of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry expose something far more serious than another chapter in the Gaza conflict.
They document what the Commission describes as the deliberate targeting and killing of Palestinian children by Israeli security forces, conduct it says amounts to genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
What stands out is not only the gravity of the allegations but also the muted response from many of the same political and media institutions that routinely demand wall-to-wall coverage when children are victims elsewhere. The Commission's report, presented to the UN Human Rights Council, concludes that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted since October 2023.
According to the findings, children account for approximately 30 percent of those killed by Israeli forces during the reporting period.
