Caabu invites you to an online briefing to discuss the latest report from Israeli human rights organisation, B'Tselem, Unshielded Childhood: Palestinian children and teenagers killed by Israeli in the West Bank in 2025, on Thursday 9 July 2026 at 14:00 (BST UK time), with Kareem Jubran, B’Tselem’s Field Research Director, and Ori Givati, B’Tselem’s Director of International Relations.
Register for this online briefing here.
Since October 2023, Israel has been waging an extensive assault on all aspects of Palestinian existence in the West Bank. This includes a broad, systematic violation of human rights, first among them the most basic right – to life. Lethal, unbridled violence employed by the Israeli regime’s armed forces, including the military and settler militias, has led to an unprecedent increase in the killing of Palestinians, and particularly the killing of children and teenagers by Israeli forces. Over the course of two years and eight months, from 7 October 2023 to 7 June 2026, Israeli forces killed 235 Palestinian children and teenagers in the West Bank. Five others were killed by settlers. In 2025 alone, the year that is the focus of this investigation, Israeli forces killed 54 Palestinian children and teenagers in the West Bank.
The report can be read in full here. Coverage of the report can be read in the Guardian, How children in West Bank are being killed by Israel 'without accountability'.
