Several experts have accused "Israel" of perpetrating yet another war crime by shooting innocent children playing in the streets of the West Bank last year.

On November 29, 2023, Adam, 8, and Basil, 15, were killed while playing in the road. Footage showed an Israeli occupation convoy passing by Adam, standing in the street with his elder brother, Baha, 14, and nine other minors. 

CCTV cameras, which offered a nearly 360-degree picture of what transpired next, caught the moment when gunfire broke out, with 11 rounds fired, striking automobiles and neighboring buildings. Tragically, two shots struck Basil in the chest, and one wounded Adam as he tried to leave the scene.

Baha described the traumatic experience of being in shock carrying his younger brother to safety while anxiously phoning for an ambulance.

Baha tearfully told BBC that he began calling his brother's name in an attempt to speak to him but it was too late.  

Unsurprisingly, the IOF, which has killed thousands of children, maintains that Basil was killed for carrying an explosive.

A committee of specialists has unanimously called for a probe into the event, with some alleging obvious violations of international law.

The evidence has prompted the UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, Ben Saul, to express reservations about the legality of using lethal force in Basil's case, claiming that Adam's killing appears to be a "war crime."

"For Adam, this appears to be a violation of the International Humanitarian Law prohibitions on deliberately, indiscriminately or disproportionately attacking civilians, a war crime, and a violation of the human right to life," Saul expressed.

Another legal expert, Lawrence Hill-Cawthorne, condemned the IOF's use of lethal force as "indiscriminate."

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, this is not a unique incidence, as such attacks have occurred "systemically."

Last month, Palestinian teenager Yazan Shtayyeh was martyred after being shot by Israeli occupation forces raiding Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
