Targeting Childhood in the West Bank-By Area

From October 7, 2023–July 31, 2024, Israeli forces and settlers killed Palestinian children in the West Bank at a rate of one child every two days. We partnered with Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) to create visuals for their new report, “Targeting Childhood: Palestinian Children Killed by Israeli Forces and Settlers in the Occupied West Bank”.

They killed a total of 141 Palestinian children during the reporting period. The majority—116 children—were killed with live ammunition targeting vital areas like the head and torso.

Special thanks to Hadeel Saalok and DCIP for their collaboration on this visual.
