However, more than 20 doctors told the news outlet that they are treating children suffering from gunshot wounds from Israeli troops. One unnamed American doctor said he reviewed CT scans to confirm his observations because he “didn't believe that this many children could be admitted to a single hospital with gunshot wounds to the head."


A Virginia-based doctor told CBS, “We all see gunshots in the U.S., but we have never seen anything like the gunshots to kids in Gaza.”


Another Virginia-based anesthesiologist said during his two weeks in Gaza, he saw gunshot wounds to kids on a daily basis, estimating that he saw at least 30 children shot by IDF snipers.


A Chicago-based physician told CBS, “I thought these kids were in the wrong place at the wrong time, like sadly, some of the kids we treat in Chicago. But after the third or fourth time, I realized it was intentional; bullets were being put in these kids on purpose."


These doctors’ accounts are not unique. They align with reports from other physicians detailing the IDF’s intentional shooting of innocent children, suggesting that this practice is a feature, rather than a bug, of Israeli military strategy.


Dr. Irfan Galaria, a physician with a plastic and reconstructive surgery practice in Chantilly, Virginia, joined a group of doctors and nurses who traveled to Gaza to volunteer in late January.


In an op-ed written about the journey, he said that what he saw over “10 days in Gaza was not war — it was annihilation.”


According to his account:






I stopped keeping track of how many new orphans I had operated on. After surgery they would be filed somewhere in the hospital, I’m unsure of who will take care of them or how they will survive. On one occasion, a handful of children, all about ages 5 to 8, were carried to the emergency room by their parents. All had single sniper shots to the head. These families were returning to their homes in Khan Yunis, about 2.5 miles away from the hospital, after Israeli tanks had withdrawn. But the snipers apparently stayed behind. None of these children survived.

On July 25, a group of 45 American physicians, surgeons, and nurses who have volunteered in the Gaza Strip sent an 8-page letter to President Joe Biden, explaining that children targeted by IDF snipers is a regular occurrence."


And you assume they were young gunmen?

I am thinking a child is equally capable of shooting and killing soldiers as any adult is if they have a rifle or pistol in their hands.

Sure that fits the facts.

45 American surgeons say it's true, and the Israeli propaganda department says it isn't.

The surgeons were on the spot dealing with the dead children.

The ministry spokesman is in an office in Tel Aviv.

Hard to know what to believe, eh?

The BBC World Service has pieced together the stories of Layan al-Majdalawi, two, and Mira Tanboura, six, both killed in Gaza in separate incidents in November 2023, in areas where the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was operating. In response to our findings, the IDF said the details of Layan and Mira's cases had been recorded and "will be examined by the competent authorities". It added: "Intentional harm to civilians, especially children, is strictly prohibited."

Layan and Mira are just two of more than 160 cases of children shot in the war in Gaza, for whom we have gathered accounts.

We found that in 95 of these cases, the child had been shot in the head or chest. In 59 of those, we obtained testimony from eyewitnesses, either directly or via human rights organisations and medics. The witnesses alleged that 57 of these children were shot by the IDF, and two were shot by Palestinians - one in celebratory gunfire and the other in a gang conflict. For the remaining 36 out of the 95 cases, we have no account of what happened. Israel bans foreign reporters from entering Gaza independently, and the destruction and displacement make gathering details difficult.

The International Committee of the Red Cross has told the BBC the world cannot accept as a "new normal" the type of warfare that allows so many children to be shot.

No, Hamas are a terrorist organisation, I have said that repeatedly and do not defend them.

Israel are just as bad, if not worse.

How can they be worse, because if the Palestinians are killing their own and shooting children, what is worse?

In this one specific report, 2 Palestinian children were killed by accident. Many more were shot intentionally by Israel.

That's worse by anybody's standards.

You seem to go out of your way to make excuses for them.

Where does it say they were shot by accident ?
 
Highwayman might be referring to the story put about by Israel, that the children were shot by Palestinians.

I've seen it pushed in Israeli media.

In the same way they claim the hundreds shot at the aid camps weren't shot, and only warning shots were fired at them

And that destroying sewage plant and water supplies to spread diseases including polio, after the hospitals have been bombed, is a great and intentional plan.
