Palestinian children killed by Israel:
By Khalid Amayreh in the West Bank
One of the most disturbing aspects of the strife between Israel and the Palestinians has been the killing and maiming of children.
At least 545 Arab children have been killed since September 2000
The Israeli occupation army and paramilitary Jewish settlers have killed 545 Palestinian children and minors since the outbreak of the al-Aqsa Intifada in September 2000.
Among these victims, 266 children were 14 or younger while the ages of the remaining 279 ranged from 15 to 18. Moreover, as many as 20,000 Palestinian children were injured, with nearly 1500 sustaining life-long disabilities.
The total number of Palestinians killed by Israel during the current Intifada is around 2700, the vast majority of them civilians.
