The British newspaper, The Guardian published a report on Saturday, which featured a video of the moment occupation forces shot and killed 12-year-old Palestinian child, Ayman Al-Hammouni in Hebron on February 21, 2025.
The report suggests that “the killing of children in the West Bank is no longer out of the ordinary,” and that “the intensity has increased since the January ceasefire in the [Gaza] Strip.”
The report said that “so far this year about two children a week have been killed, slightly over the average rate for 2024 when 93 children were killed.”
The report quoted the slain child’s father, Nassar Al-Hammouni who said, “It is about rage and revenge,” adding “They don’t care if it’s a child, or a woman, or an old person. No one’s safe any more.”
