Gaza: Israel kills 2,100 babies under two, unprecedented number in modern wars

The European-Mediterranean Observatory for Human Rights reports that of the nearly 17,000 children killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip since October 7, some 2,100 were infants under the age of two.

“The number of Palestinian children – whether infants or children in general – killed by the Israeli army is horrifying, and the rate at which they are being killed is unprecedented in the history of modern warfare.the Geneva-based organization said. “This also represents a dangerous trend based on the dehumanization of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army has been systematically and systematically killing Palestinians and their children in the most vile and brutal ways, on a daily basis, and virtually without interruption for 10 months now.”

It was previously reported that two twin babies who were only four days oldwere killed by Israeli shelling in Deir el-Balah in the Gaza Strip.
