minus-squarenaturalgasbad@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·2 years agoAh yes, because peaceful protest worked so well… HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN, SOME AS YOUNG AS EIGHT YEARS OLD, HAVE BEEN SHOT BY LIVE AMMUNITION IN THE GAZA PROTESTS, AN ANALYSIS BY SAVE THE CHILDREN HAS SHOWN. Still, 175 Palestinians have been shot to death, according to an Associated Press count. And the number of wounded has reached colossal proportions. Of the 10,511 protesters treated at hospitals and field clinics in Gaza so far, at least 6,392, or roughly 60 percent, have been struck in the lower limbs, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. At least 5,884 of those casualties were hit by live ammunition; others have been hit by rubber-coated metal bullets and tear gas canisters. A commission of inquiry investigated the killing of 189 Palestinians between 30 March and 31 December 2018. It found reasonable grounds to believe that Israeli snipers shot at children, medics and journalists, even though they were clearly recognisable as such.
