Israeli forces and settlers killed 235 children and teenagers in the West Bank since 7 October 2023, Middle East Eye reported. The toll includes a seven-month-old infant among the dead. The killings occurred amid escalating violence following the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent military operations in Gaza and the occupied territory.
The report documents child casualties across the West Bank over a fifteen-month period. Deaths resulted from Israeli military operations, airstrikes, and incidents involving settlers in the territory. Palestinian rights groups have documented the toll as violence has intensified since October 2023, with clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians occurring regularly across multiple locations in the West Bank.
