Israeli Military Targets Children
Israeli soldiers systematically target children under 12 to kill or maim them according to a report called “Lethal Precision Without Accountability: Israeli Government ‘Quadcopter’ Use in Gaza.” These are small armed tactical drones. This report was issued by The Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs on June 17, 2026.
Dr. Mimi Syed, a board-certified emergency physician from the U.S. who made two separate medical missions to Gaza in 2024 but was denied entry into Gaza in 2025, has had interviews with Democracy Now and NPR, among others and stated that she and other doctors have testified they saw many children who had been shot in the head or chest with a single bullet. In one month, Syed recorded in her notes that she had treated at least 18 children with gunshots to the head/neck and as was noted above, also to the chest area.
The continuing genocidal attacks on Gaza’s population, especially its children, can best be described as barbaric and completely inhumane.
In closing, let us remember what Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin, had to say about the killing of children: “Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy. The enemy is not Hamas … Every child in Gaza is the enemy … We need to conquer Gaza and colonize it, and not leave a single Gazan child there.”
