Adam Samer al-Ghoul (8) and Bassel Suleiman Abu al-Wafa (15), were shot and killed by the occupation forces on Wednesday afternoon. Footage shows that one of the children was shot right in front of his family home in the al-Basateen district.

Local sources mentioned that the occupation forces directly fired at the children and left them bleeding to death, while preventing citizens and medical crews from reaching them.

Massacre also unfolding in West Bank

At the beginning of this month, the 150 residents of Khirbet Zanuta have been forcibly displaced once again. At the time, armed settlers, some of whom were dressed in reserve army uniforms and others concealing their identities, started to break into their homes during the night, assaulting adults, vandalizing and looting possessions, and traumatizing their children.

As of October 7, the Palestinian Prisoners Club reported that the overall count of Palestinians held in Israeli detention has reached 3,325. It is worth noting that United Nations data have lately indicated that a minimum of 247 Palestinians, including children, have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli occupation forces since October 7.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, "Israel" has killed at least 16,000, including more than 6,150 children and over 4,000 women, as per the Government Media Office in Gaza.
