According to former Mossad official, Rami Igra, all children in Gaza over the age of 4 should be subject to the occupation's collective punishment, including withholding food and humanitarian aid, because "no one in Gaza is uninvolved."
In an interview on Israeli television on Tuesday, he said that the “goal” is to force Palestinians to “dislike” the Resistance movement Hamas.

“In Gaza, everyone is involved. Everyone voted for Hamas. Anyone over the age of four is a Hamas supporter. And our goal at the moment … is to turn them from Hamas supporters to Hamas dislikes," he said.
And the way to achieve that, according to him, "is supplying the humanitarian aid, through us."
The host then interfered and said, "How did you say, children from the age of zero to four, they are uninvolved, because maybe when they grow up, they will be" and told him that "in the meantime, [you say] you cannot starve them."
"They are children, there is nothing to do," she added.

He responded by saying that this is "true", although it is "against our interests."
This comes as the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced earlier today that the number of Palestinians killed in the Israeli occupation's genocidal war on the Gaza Strip has risen to 28,985 Palestinians, including at least over 10,000 children, in addition to 68,883 injuries.
Back in December, the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor estimated that 24,000 to 25,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned (losing one or both of their parents to Israeli aggression) and about 640,000 of them had their homes destroyed or damaged, leaving them homeless.
Hundreds of thousands of children, the Monitor added, are at risk of education deprivation in light of the aggression, which has rendered most schools inoperational and left hundreds destroyed or damaged.
These numbers have staggered since then.
Moreover, "Israel" is using starvation as a method of warfare, which clearly violates international law, and it is blocking the entrance of humanitarian aid trucks into Gaza, which also violates the current measures imposed by the International Court of Justice.
