Palestine denounces at the UN the murder of minors by Israel

Palestina-2-300x169
Ramallah, Oct 11 (Prensa Latina) The Palestinian government denounced before the UN the murder of 44 minors since the beginning of the year by Israeli soldiers, and demanded protection for children and punishment for Tel Aviv.

In a letter sent to the UN secretary general, António Guterres, Palestine called for urgent special protection for Palestinian children, the Wafa news agency said.

12-year-old Mahmoud Samoudi is the latest fatality of the Israeli security forces.

Samoudi succumbed to his injuries after being shot in the abdomen nearly two weeks ago during a raid in the West Bank city of Jenin.

So far this month, the Israeli military killed at least another minor: 14-year-old Adel Adel Daud.

The denounce stresses the fact that the soldiers aim at the children’s torsos deliberately.

“Israel deliberately shoots Palestinian minors with the stated aim of killing and maiming them, denying them their right to life,” the letter stressed.

It demanded measures against Israel by stressing that its actions violate international law and the resolutions that form the basis of the protection of children in armed conflicts.

“The protection of children is the greatest moral, legal and political obligation of humanity,” he stressed.
