Truth out is reporting that "Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian child in southern Gaza on Monday in an apparent violation of the ceasefire agreement that went into effect just the day before.
An Israeli sniper reportedly shot the 15-year-old child on Monday evening in central Rafah."
"Graphic footage of the attack also shows Israeli forces opening fire at another Palestinian who approaches the child’s body in an attempt to check in on him.
Palestinian sources identified the child as Zakariya Hameed Yahya Barbakh. He was one of two children killed by Israeli gunfire on Monday evening, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa. Israeli forces also killed at least one civilian and injured nine others in Rafah on Monday."
CNN is reporting that "Zakariya is one of at least four Palestinians allegedly shot by the Israeli military since the ceasefire went into effect. One minute, they were celebrating Gaza’s ceasefire. The next, they were killed." He needed a lung.
Israeli snipers targeted children with 'single shot to the head' in Gaza: UK surgeon. There is nothing Godly about that.
Israel were using drones to shoot civilians and children after their bombing raids of safe areas before the cease fire.
Update: Hundreds of families leave West Bank as major Israeli raid continues after the ceasefire was agreed upon.
Press TV is reporting that "The United Nations has raised serious concerns about the disproportionate use of force by Israeli military in its ongoing major assault on the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank."
Israeli drone attack kills two in expanding occupied West Bank operation. "An Israeli drone attack on a vehicle near the occupied West Bank town of Qabatiya has killed two people, the Palestinian Ministry of Health says on the fourth day of a large-scale Israeli operation in and around the nearby city of Jenin."
Israeli forces block entrances to Jenin as deadly raid enters fourth day. "Israeli forces have blocked four main entrances to Jenin city and its refugee camp on Friday as the deadly raid into the city entered a fourth day, officials said."
"Mansour Saadi, deputy governor of Jenin, was quoted as saying by the Wafa news agency that the Israeli army blocked all four main entrances to the city and its refugee camp with earth mounds, preventing entry and exit.”
"Palestinian sources said Israeli forces launched drones with loudspeakers in the refugee camp and imposed a curfew from Thursday evening until Friday morning."
That sounds more like the Americans than the IDF. I've heard reports of Americans serving with the IDF in Gaza.
Another Update: Trump is now supporting the eviction of Palestinians in Gaza. His son in law previously said he wanted waterfront property there. "Jared Kushner has praised the very valuable potential of Gaza’s waterfront property and suggested Israel should remove civilians while it cleans up the strip."
There are quite a few Jews from the states that go to Israel to join the IDF, more than a few Canadians as well, we probably match them in terms of percentage of our respective Jewish populations. If you're going to join an Army, I guess you pick the one that best serves who you believe yourself to be. A guy I used to work with was able to claim American citizenship through his mother even though he was born here to join the US Marines.
