With the martyrdom of 2.5-year-old Tamimi, the number of Palestinian children killed at the hands of Israeli occupation forces since the beginning of this year has risen to 28.

The child Tamimi was shot in the head when Israeli occupation forces opened fire indiscriminately while pursuing Palestinian youths who allegedly carried out a shooting operation targeting an occupation military post near the town of Nabi Saleh, Palestinian sources revealed. Both baby Tamim and his father Haytham were wounded in the Israeli attack.

Last Thursday, activist Bilal Tamimi stated that an Israeli occupation army force ambushed a vehicle at the entrance to the town, chased it, and opened fire on it, which led to the injury of the child with a bullet in the head, while his father was wounded in the hand.

Tamimi’s mother explained that Mohammad and his father were on their way for a family visit when they were shot.
