[Salon] Israeli forces killed two Palestinian boys after so-called ceasefire

FM: John Whitbeck

Transmitted below is the latest news from Defense for Children International - Palestine, which the Israeli government has declared to be a "terrorist" organization in order to discourage financial support for its truth-telling work. It features photos of the 16 children killed during its latest assault against Gaza.

Dear John --

Israeli forces agreed to a ceasefire late Sunday night, after 16 Palestinian children in Gaza had been killed. Then, Israeli forces shot and killed two 16-year-old Palestinian boys in the occupied West Bank barely more than a day later.

Hussein Jamal Hussein Taha, 16, was shot and killed by Israeli forces while shopping for groceries with his father and younger brother in Nablus on Tuesday morning. A few hours later in Hebron, 16-year-old Momen Yasin Mohammad Joude Jaber was shot dead with a live round to the chest with by an Israeli soldier.

These killings come just hours after a brutal Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip that resulted in the deaths of 16 Palestinian children ranging in age from three to 16 years old. Despite agreeing to a ceasefire, the killings have not stopped.

Palestinian children in Gaza, Nablus, Hebron, and elsewhere deserve to grow up. We won't stop advocating for accountability for their killings, no matter how long it takes.

In solidarity,

Ayed Abu Eqtaish
