Israeli soldiers killed 30 Palestinians in March including 3 children

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Israeli occupation forces (IOF) killed 30 Palestinian citizens in the past month, mostly in Gaza Strip, including three children, the Tadamun foundation for human rights said in a report on Sunday.

A Palestinian woman in her thirties and a deported ex-prisoner to Gaza were among those killed in the Israeli forces’ assassination spree, the report said.

Hamza Zayed Jaradat, 12, Zayed Jomaa Jaradat, 12, from Wadi Al Reem near Hebron, were both killed by the explosion of a suspicious object left by the Israeli occupation army in their region. Jamal Abu Aram, 17, from Yatta town near Hebron, died after confrontations with the occupation forces while trying to re-arrest a freed captive released in the last prisoners’ exchange deal.

The report noted that the occupation forces continued their campaign of arrests during March, where they arrested 300 citizens including dozens of children, women, and many freed captives who spent so many long years in occupation prisons.

The daily Israeli campaign of arrests in West Bank cities included all the Palestinian society's segments, children, women, and workers, where the occupation forces arrested during their raids in West Bank cities more than 56 Palestinian children, dozens of Palestinian workers from their homes in different regions, and seven women.

Tadamon condemned the racist occupation practices against the unarmed Palestinian people, and the Zionist aggression and crimes against Palestinians especially the assassination policy and aerial bombardment and artillery shelling against unarmed civilians.

It stressed the need to stop the occupation policy of arrests, especially of women and children, in the Palestinian territories in contrary to all international laws and norms. the foundation also called on the international community and human rights organizations to assume their responsibilities to stop these violations and to pressure the “Zionist state” to assume its legal and moral responsibilities as an occupation state.
