Group: 68 Palestinian Children Killed over 12-Month Period
----------------------------------------------------------



In the Occupied Territories, a leading Palestinian human rights group
says it’s documented killings of sixty-eight Palestinian children by the
Israeli military over a twelve-month period. The Palestinian Centre for
Human Rights says in each case Israeli soldiers used “disproportionate
and excessive lethal force.” Around 900 Palestinian children have been
killed since the start of the second Palestinian intifada eight years
ago.
