Description
Summary:In Nov 16, the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem released a video showing Israeli soldiers pulling Palestinian children out of their beds in the middle of the night and photographing them illegally. B'Tselem reported that during the night operations in the H1 area of Hebron, which is under Palestinian control. Israeli soldiers entered the home of the Daana family, forcing the parents to wake up and gather their children. According to the Yediot Aharonot daily, the incident took place in September and included 14 children, most of whom were asleep when the raid began. The Haaretz daily reported that according to the parents, all the children, who were in kindergarten or the early years of elementary school, were forced to stand in a line outside the house. The video shows several of the children trembling and crying. The video also shows soldiers ordering the children to say "cheese" over the objections of the parents. According to Israeli law, it is illegal to photograph miners. This incident was not the only gross violation of Palestinian children's rights to be conducted routinely against Palestinian children by the army or by settlers under the protection of the army.
