UN spokesman Chris Sidoti explained why so many children were killed and injured in Gaza, citing two factors. The first is Israel's military strategy aimed at total destruction, starting on October 7, 2023. The second, he said, was that Israeli forces targeted children on purpose. He gave the example of two brothers, 9 and 10 years old, who were killed by an Israeli drone when they were collecting firewood for their family, about 100 meters from the yellow line. The commission came to the conclusion that the killing of the children was intentional and not accidental, a conclusion based on eyewitnesses, videos, satellite images, medical reports and publications by Israeli soldiers themselves.
