There can be no impunity for international crimes of this magnitude. Both third States along with the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, must commence immediate, effective and impartial investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including Israel’s architecture of apartheid, facilitating the settler colonisation and maintained by the current acts of aggression in the Gaza Strip and against the Palestinian people as a whole.[1] This report provides a preliminary non exhaustive report of the attacks on the Gaza Strip between Friday 14 to Saturday 15 May 2021.

Conclusion The catalogue of attacks on civilians and civilian objects is prohibited as a violation of international humanitarian law. Noting that the Geneva Conventions criminalise as a grave breach wilful killing, and wilfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health and the “extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly”. It is therefore incumbent on third States to respect and ensure respect for the Conventions and fulfil their obligations to search for, arrest and prosecute perpetrators of Israeli war crimes, who are located in their territory, or who are nationals and may have dual citizenship of the Third State. There can be no impunity for international crimes of this magnitude. Both third States along with the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, must commence immediate, effective and impartial investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including Israel’s architecture of apartheid, facilitating the settler colonisation and maintained by the current acts of aggression in the Gaza Strip and against the Palestinian people as a whole.    [1] This report provides a preliminary non exhaustive report of the attacks on the Gaza Strip between Friday 14 to Saturday 15 May 2021.

Israel and the Palestinian movement Hamas reached a ceasefire early on Friday after two weeks of violence that have left hundreds dead and thousands more injured across the region. The hostilities began amid Israeli authorities’ crackdown on Palestinians in Jerusalem, first in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood, then at al-Aqsa Mosque. According to the latest official information from Palestinian and Israeli sources, at least 292 people were been killed between 7 and 21 May, including at least 71 children and 45 women.  Explained: Why did Israel bomb Gaza? Read More » The vast majority were Palestinian: Israeli air strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip killed at least 248 Palestinians, while a further 29 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Another two Palestinian citizens of Israel have been reported killed by Israeli fire. In Israel, 12 people have been reported killed by rockets launched from Gaza by Hamas, among them two children, two Palestinian citizens of Israel, two Thai citizens, and one Indian national. One person was also killed by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon during a protest in solidarity with Palestinians. During the past two weeks, Middle East Eye has compiled a list of names, ages and genders of  those killed, using available information from official Palestinian and Israeli sources, including the Gaza Ministry of Health, and MEE’s own reporting on the ground. This list is far from exhaustive. The chaos that has hit the region means that many people have yet to be publicly identified; for some – especially in Gaza – the date of death has yet to be released. It has not yet been possible to ascertain exactly which of those killed in Gaza were Hamas and Islamic Jihad members, though the vast majority are thought to be civilians.

Just minutes after the war between Israel and Hamas broke out, a 5-year-old boy named Baraa al-Gharabli was killed in Jabaliya, Gaza. A 16-year-old, Mustafa Obaid, was killed in the same strike, on the evening of May 10. Around the same time, four cousins — Yazan al-Masri, 2, Marwan al-Masri, 6, Rahaf al-Masri, 10, and Ibrahim al-Masri, 11 — were killed in Beit Hanoun, Gaza. “It was devastating,” said Mukhlis al-Masri, a cousin. “The pain for our family is indescribable.” Hussein Hamad, 11 Ibrahim Hassanain, 16 Muhammad Suleiman, 15 Hamza Ali, 12 Mina Sharir, 2, and Lina Sharir, 15, sisters Nearly all of the children killed were Palestinian. Gaza is crowded and its population skews young, with about half under age 18. So when Israeli warplanes hit homes and residential neighborhoods, the number of children at risk is extraordinary. Sometimes nearly entire households disappear with a single blast. Israel blames Hamas for the high civilian death toll in Gaza because the group fires rockets and conducts military operations from civilian areas. Israel’s critics cite the death toll as evidence that Israel’s strikes were indiscriminate and disproportionate. Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza Strip, on May 15. Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Children are the most vulnerable. In Gaza, they grow up amid widespread poverty and high unemployment, and cannot freely travel in or out of the territory because of the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. They also live under the constant threat of war. An average 15-year-old would have lived through four major Israeli offensives. Nearly everyone in Gaza knows someone who has been killed in the fighting. “When I think about the children who died,” said Ola Abu Hasaballah, a child psychologist in Gaza, “I also think about the ones who survive, those who were pulled out of the rubble and lost a limb, or those who will go to school and see their friend is missing.” In the Arab village of Dahmash in central Israel, when the sirens wailed around 3 a.m. on May 12, Nadine Awad, 16, and her father ran outside for cover, said her uncle, Ismail Arafat. But a rocket fired by militants in Gaza slammed into the ground next to their home, killing both of them. Nadine was a top student, her academic adviser, Sirin Slameh, said. She spoke English proficiently, taught herself how to play the piano and participated in Jewish-Arab coexistence programs, Ms. Slameh said. The week before, she had scored a 97 on a math exam, a subject she had struggled with. She was very close to her father, Mr. Arafat said, and would follow him everywhere. “The sad part is she followed him outside when the sirens blared,” he said, “and now she has followed him to the grave.” Zaid Talbani, 4, and Miriam Talbani, 2, siblings Hala Rifi, 13 Bashar Samour, 17 The funeral of Mina Sharir, 2. Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times While most of the children were Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes, there are exceptions. At least two of the children killed in Gaza — Baraa al-Gharabli and Mustafa Obaid — may have been killed when Palestinian militants fired a rocket at Israel that fell short, according to an initial investigation by Defense for Children International-Palestine. And one of the children killed in Israel, Nadine Awad, was Palestinian. “The rockets don’t differentiate between Arabs and Jews,” said Ismail Arafat, her uncle. Once the war started, Ido Avigal, 5, was so anxious that he did not want to sleep, shower or eat alone, said Shani Avigal, his mother. When sirens started blaring in Sderot, Israel, he huddled with his family in a fortified safe room at his aunt’s home. But when a rocket hit a nearby building, shrapnel punctured the thick glass of the safe room, tearing into his stomach and killing him. Ms. Avigal said her son was caring and loving, and had recently told his classmates that “not all Arabs are bad.” “I said they all don’t want to kill us,” he told his mother. “I eventually convinced them.” The same day, May 12, Hamada al-Emour, 13, went with his cousin, Ammar al-Emour, 10, to get haircuts at a barber shop — a tradition among many Palestinians before the festival that follows the end of Ramadan. They were nearly back home in Khan Younis when an Israeli airstrike killed them both, said Atiya al-Emour, Hamada’s father, who said he witnessed his son’s death. “I wish I didn’t see what happened to him,” said Mr. al-Emour. “It was awful.” Mahmoud Tolbeh, 12, was an excellent student, his father, Hamed Tolbeh, said. He liked the sciences and dreamed of becoming a mechanical engineer. He was helpful around the house, making eggs and sandwiches for his siblings, tea and coffee for guests, cleaning the house and picking up groceries. “He was the backbone of our family,” Mr. Tolbeh said. “We could rely on him for anything.” On the last night of Ramadan, he went to help a cousin at his barber shop. Mahmoud was steps from the shop’s entrance, his father said, when shrapnel from an Israeli airstrike hit his head and neck. He died two days later. His sister Nagham cradled his body. “He had a bright future,” Mr. Tolbeh said. “But it was buried with him in the grave.” Nagham Tolbeh mourned over the body of her brother, Mahmoud.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Yahya Khalifa, 13, enjoyed riding his bike, had memorized several chapters of the Quran and hoped to one day visit the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. “He was an innocent and sweet boy,” his father, Mazen Khalifa, said. He went out to run a quick errand, promising to pick up yogurt and ice cream for the family, his father said, and was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Four brothers: Amir Tanani, 6, Ahmad Tanani, 2, Ismail Tanani, 7, and Adham Tanani, 4 (not pictured). The identities of the children killed, their photographs and the circumstances of their deaths came from their parents and other relatives, teachers and schools in Gaza and Israel, international rights organizations, Palestinian officials, social media, and news organizations in Gaza and Israel. Most of the details were corroborated by multiple sources. Khaled Qanou, 17 Ahmad al-Hawajri, 14 The Israeli military says that it takes rigorous precautions to prevent civilian deaths. It says a major part of its bombing campaign was aimed at Hamas’s underground tunnel network, a military facility that runs underneath civilian neighborhoods. Many people in Gaza, however, say that the number of civilians killed proves that whatever precautions Israel may be taking are tragically insufficient. “People think there has to be some rationale,” said Raji Sourani, director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza, “but the bottom line is they want to inflict pain and suffering.” The mother and brother of Yahya Khalifa, 13. Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times The low toll on the Israeli side also reflected an imbalance in defensive capabilities. Hamas and other militant groups fired more than 4,000 rockets at Israeli towns and cities, also indiscriminately. But most were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system, which Israeli officials said stopped about 90 percent of the rockets. And many Israelis have safe rooms in their homes. In Gaza, most people have no access to safe rooms or shelters. Many people seek refuge in the United Nations schools, but they too have been bombed, reinforcing a feeling that anyone could be killed anywhere. Even in Israel, Arab citizens don’t always have equal access to bomb shelters. Ms. Awad, who was killed by a rocket from Gaza, lived in an Arab village with no bomb shelter. Lina Issa, 13 Fawziya Abu Faris, 17, woke up early every morning in Umm al-Nasr, a Bedouin community in northern Gaza, to milk her family’s sheep and make fresh cheese and yogurt, said her father, Nasser Abu Faris. Muhammad Abu Dayyeh, 9 months Hoor al-Zamli, 2 Ibrahim al-Rantisi, 6 months It was shortly after midnight in Beit Lahia, Gaza, and the three terrified children were huddled in their mother’s arms. Muhammad-Zain al-Attar, 9 months, sat in the middle, his sister, Amira al-Attar, 6, and brother, Islam al-Attar, 8, on either side. The first strike hit the entrance of their ground floor apartment, trapping the family and making it impossible to flee, the father, Muhammad al-Attar, said. The second, moments later, brought the three story building down. Mr. al-Attar dug himself out of the rubble and survived. His wife and children were crushed under a concrete pillar, their bodies found still together. Abdullah Jouda, 12 Mental health experts and independent organizations who work with children in Gaza say they commonly suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fear and anxiety. Those feelings can produce debilitating nightmares and self-destructive or aggressive behavior. A Palestinian boy next to the remains of his home in Gaza City.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times “Gaza is already a very violent and terrorizing experience for children because they are under constant military rule,” said Karl Schembri, a spokesman for the Norwegian Refugee Council, which runs a psychotherapy and education program for children in Gaza. Eleven of the children the group works with were killed this month, all of them in their homes. “They were getting assistance and care to try and put behind them their nightmares and their trauma,” Mr. Schembri said. “Now they are buried with their dreams and their nightmares.” Butheina Obaid, 6 Suheib al-Hadidi, 12, lived with his parents and four brothers in the crowded Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. He was fascinated by birds, which had a freedom he could only imagine. He owned a cockatiel, trained it to sit on his shoulder and envisioned a future as a breeder, his cousin, Abdullah al-Hadidi, said. His brother, Yahya al-Hadidi, 10, was a shy boy who liked riding his bike and playing with cats, Mr. al-Hadidi said. Osama al-Hadidi, 5, was considered one of the most stylish members of his family. He changed clothes frequently and took pains to perfect his looks, Mr. al-Hadidi said. “He would shower and change his clothes every two hours.” Abdurrahman al-Hadidi, 7, studied English, dreamed of traveling to Turkey and liked playing with remote-control cars, his father, Muhammad al-Hadidi, said. The four brothers were asleep at their uncle and aunt’s home, Muhammad al-Hadidi said, when an Israeli bomb ripped through the ceiling, killing them, their mother, their aunt and four cousins.

At around 1 a.m. on May 16, Israeli strikes reduced both buildings to rubble, killing more than 20 members of the extended family, including eight children: Yara al-Qawlaq, 9, Hala al-Qawlaq, 12, Rula al-Qawlaq, 5, Zaid al-Qawlaq, 8, Qusai al-Qawlaq, 6 months, Adam al-Qawlaq, 3, Ahmad al-Qawlaq, 15, and Hana al-Qawlaq, 14 (not pictured). “It’s unimaginable,” said Waseem al-Qawlaq, who survived. “It’s beyond torture.” Searching for victims from the al-Qawlaq family.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Dima al-Ifranji, 15, far left, was the oldest child and the apple of her father’s eye. She was one of the top students in her class, spoke English and French, and dreamed of studying medicine, her father, Rami al-Ifranji, said. “She was brilliant,” he said. “She was a master of foreign languages.” Her brother, Yazan al-Ifranji, 13, was a bright child, often the first to answer questions in class, Mr. al-Ifranji said. He liked playing soccer and listening to music, and hoped to become a computer engineer. Mira al-Ifranji, 11, imagined a future as a dentist. And Amir al-Ifranji, 9, was a polite child with a vibrant smile who loved playing soccer and video games on his phone. An Israeli airstrike on May 16 killed all four children and their mother. It was late at night and even though the feast celebrating the end of Ramadan was over, Dana Ishkontana, 9, and Lana Ishkontana, 5, wanted to dress up in their new holiday outfits. Their uncle, Raed Ishkontana, snapped pictures on his phone while their two brothers, Yahya Ishkontana, 4, and Zain Ishkontana, 2, watched, Mr. Ishkontana recalled. Then he stepped out to get snacks for the family, chocolate candy bars and potato chips. The four children and their mother were killed in an Israeli airstrike, he said. “I wish I never left,” he said.

She was quick with a joke and her father, Dr. Ayman Abu Elouf, adored her, said Alaa Abu Elouf, her cousin. Her brother, Tawfiq Abu Elouf, 17, was a serious student, intensely prepping for the standardized tests Palestinians take in their senior year of high school, Mr. Abu Elouf said. Brother, sister, mother and father were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Al Wahda Street in Gaza City on May 16, Mr. Abu Elouf said. Yousef al-Baz, 13 Rafeef Abu Dayer, 10, liked to draw. She had sketched one of the high-rise buildings that an Israeli airstrike destroyed in Gaza City two days earlier and had started to color in her drawing when her mother called her for lunch. “You can go back to drawing after you eat,” her mother said. The girl sat down for lunch with 13 relatives in a private residential garden. Minutes later, Israel attacked a building nearby, an uncle said. Shrapnel and rubble struck Rafeef. She and another uncle were killed. The drawing Rafeef Abu Dayer, 10, was working on before she was killed.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Nagham Salha, 2 On May 19, the day before Israel and Hamas agreed to a cease-fire, Dima Asaliyah, 10, was walking home from her older sister’s house carrying an electric pizza oven. It was a small one, her father, Saad Asaliyah, said, the size of a soccer ball, that the family used to bake bread. An Israeli surveillance drone had been hovering overhead, and Mr. Asaliyah now wonders if Israeli soldiers mistook it for a weapon. “Maybe their alarms went off because of the stove,” he said. “But did they not see how small she was?” There was an explosion, and his youngest child was gone. “Do you see her picture?” he asked.“She’s worthy of our grief.”

Just minutes after the war between Israel and Hamas broke out, a 5-year-old boy named Baraa al-Gharabli was killed in Jabaliya, Gaza. A 16-year-old, Mustafa Obaid, was killed in the same strike, on the evening of May 10. Around the same time, four cousins — Yazan al-Masri, 2, Marwan al-Masri, 6, Rahaf al-Masri, 10, and Ibrahim al-Masri, 11 — were killed in Beit Hanoun, Gaza. “It was devastating,” said Mukhlis al-Masri, a cousin. “The pain for our family is indescribable.” Hussein Hamad, 11 Ibrahim Hassanain, 16 Muhammad Suleiman, 15 Hamza Ali, 12 Mina Sharir, 2, and Lina Sharir, 15, sisters Nearly all of the children killed were Palestinian. Gaza is crowded and its population skews young, with about half under age 18. So when Israeli warplanes hit homes and residential neighborhoods, the number of children at risk is extraordinary. Sometimes nearly entire households disappear with a single blast. Israel blames Hamas for the high civilian death toll in Gaza because the group fires rockets and conducts military operations from civilian areas. Israel’s critics cite the death toll as evidence that Israel’s strikes were indiscriminate and disproportionate. Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza Strip, on May 15.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Children are the most vulnerable. In Gaza, they grow up amid widespread poverty and high unemployment, and cannot freely travel in or out of the territory because of the blockade imposed by Israel and Egypt. They also live under the constant threat of war. An average 15-year-old would have lived through four major Israeli offensives. Nearly everyone in Gaza knows someone who has been killed in the fighting. “When I think about the children who died,” said Ola Abu Hasaballah, a child psychologist in Gaza, “I also think about the ones who survive, those who were pulled out of the rubble and lost a limb, or those who will go to school and see their friend is missing.” In the Arab village of Dahmash in central Israel, when the sirens wailed around 3 a.m. on May 12, Nadine Awad, 16, and her father ran outside for cover, said her uncle, Ismail Arafat. But a rocket fired by militants in Gaza slammed into the ground next to their home, killing both of them. Nadine was a top student, her academic adviser, Sirin Slameh, said. She spoke English proficiently, taught herself how to play the piano and participated in Jewish-Arab coexistence programs, Ms. Slameh said. The week before, she had scored a 97 on a math exam, a subject she had struggled with. She was very close to her father, Mr. Arafat said, and would follow him everywhere. “The sad part is she followed him outside when the sirens blared,” he said, “and now she has followed him to the grave.” Zaid Talbani, 4, and Miriam Talbani, 2, siblings Hala Rifi, 13 Bashar Samour, 17 The funeral of Mina Sharir, 2.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times While most of the children were Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes, there are exceptions. At least two of the children killed in Gaza — Baraa al-Gharabli and Mustafa Obaid — may have been killed when Palestinian militants fired a rocket at Israel that fell short, according to an initial investigation by Defense for Children International-Palestine. And one of the children killed in Israel, Nadine Awad, was Palestinian. “The rockets don’t differentiate between Arabs and Jews,” said Ismail Arafat, her uncle. Once the war started, Ido Avigal, 5, was so anxious that he did not want to sleep, shower or eat alone, said Shani Avigal, his mother. When sirens started blaring in Sderot, Israel, he huddled with his family in a fortified safe room at his aunt’s home. But when a rocket hit a nearby building, shrapnel punctured the thick glass of the safe room, tearing into his stomach and killing him. Ms. Avigal said her son was caring and loving, and had recently told his classmates that “not all Arabs are bad.” “I said they all don’t want to kill us,” he told his mother. “I eventually convinced them.” The same day, May 12, Hamada al-Emour, 13, went with his cousin, Ammar al-Emour, 10, to get haircuts at a barber shop — a tradition among many Palestinians before the festival that follows the end of Ramadan. They were nearly back home in Khan Younis when an Israeli airstrike killed them both, said Atiya al-Emour, Hamada’s father, who said he witnessed his son’s death. “I wish I didn’t see what happened to him,” said Mr. al-Emour. “It was awful.” Mahmoud Tolbeh, 12, was an excellent student, his father, Hamed Tolbeh, said. He liked the sciences and dreamed of becoming a mechanical engineer. He was helpful around the house, making eggs and sandwiches for his siblings, tea and coffee for guests, cleaning the house and picking up groceries. “He was the backbone of our family,” Mr. Tolbeh said. “We could rely on him for anything.” On the last night of Ramadan, he went to help a cousin at his barber shop. Mahmoud was steps from the shop’s entrance, his father said, when shrapnel from an Israeli airstrike hit his head and neck. He died two days later. His sister Nagham cradled his body. “He had a bright future,” Mr. Tolbeh said. “But it was buried with him in the grave.” Nagham Tolbeh mourned over the body of her brother, Mahmoud.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times Yahya Khalifa, 13, enjoyed riding his bike, had memorized several chapters of the Quran and hoped to one day visit the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. “He was an innocent and sweet boy,” his father, Mazen Khalifa, said. He went out to run a quick errand, promising to pick up yogurt and ice cream for the family, his father said, and was killed in an Israeli airstrike. Four brothers: Amir Tanani, 6, Ahmad Tanani, 2, Ismail Tanani, 7, and Adham Tanani, 4 (not pictured). The identities of the children killed, their photographs and the circumstances of their deaths came from their parents and other relatives, teachers and schools in Gaza and Israel, international rights organizations, Palestinian officials, social media, and news organizations in Gaza and Israel. Most of the details were corroborated by multiple sources. Khaled Qanou, 17 Ahmad al-Hawajri, 14 The Israeli military says that it takes rigorous precautions to prevent civilian deaths. It says a major part of its bombing campaign was aimed at Hamas’s underground tunnel network, a military facility that runs underneath civilian neighborhoods. Many people in Gaza, however, say that the number of civilians killed proves that whatever precautions Israel may be taking are tragically insufficient. “People think there has to be some rationale,” said Raji Sourani, director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights in Gaza, “but the bottom line is they want to inflict pain and suffering.” The mother and brother of Yahya Khalifa, 13.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times The low toll on the Israeli side also reflected an imbalance in defensive capabilities. Hamas and other militant groups fired more than 4,000 rockets at Israeli towns and cities, also indiscriminately. But most were intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system, which Israeli officials said stopped about 90 percent of the rockets. And many Israelis have safe rooms in their homes. In Gaza, most people have no access to safe rooms or shelters. Many people seek refuge in the United Nations schools, but they too have been bombed, reinforcing a feeling that anyone could be killed anywhere. Even in Israel, Arab citizens don’t always have equal access to bomb shelters. Ms. Awad, who was killed by a rocket from Gaza, lived in an Arab village with no bomb shelter. Lina Issa, 13 Fawziya Abu Faris, 17, woke up early every morning in Umm al-Nasr, a Bedouin community in northern Gaza, to milk her family’s sheep and make fresh cheese and yogurt, said her father, Nasser Abu Faris. Muhammad Abu Dayyeh, 9 months Hoor al-Zamli, 2 Ibrahim al-Rantisi, 6 months It was shortly after midnight in Beit Lahia, Gaza, and the three terrified children were huddled in their mother’s arms. Muhammad-Zain al-Attar, 9 months, sat in the middle, his sister, Amira al-Attar, 6, and brother, Islam al-Attar, 8, on either side. The first strike hit the entrance of their ground floor apartment, trapping the family and making it impossible to flee, the father, Muhammad al-Attar, said. The second, moments later, brought the three story building down. Mr. al-Attar dug himself out of the rubble and survived. His wife and children were crushed under a concrete pillar, their bodies found still together. Abdullah Jouda, 12 Mental health experts and independent organizations who work with children in Gaza say they commonly suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic fear and anxiety. Those feelings can produce debilitating nightmares and self-destructive or aggressive behavior. A Palestinian boy next to the remains of his home in Gaza City.Samar Abu Elouf for The New York Times “Gaza is already a very violent and terrorizing experience for children because they are under constant military rule,” said Karl Schembri, a spokesman for the Norwegian Refugee Council, which runs a psychotherapy and education program for children in Gaza. Eleven of the children the group works with were killed this month, all of them in their homes. “They were getting assistance and care to try and put behind them their nightmares and their trauma,” Mr. Schembri said. “Now they are buried with their dreams and their nightmares.” Butheina Obaid, 6 Suheib al-Hadidi, 12, lived with his parents and four brothers in the crowded Shati refugee camp in Gaza City. He was fascinated by birds, which had a freedom he could only imagine. He owned a cockatiel, trained it to sit on his shoulder and envisioned a future as a breeder, his cousin, Abdullah al-Hadidi, said. His brother, Yahya al-Hadidi, 10, was a shy boy who liked riding his bike and playing with cats, Mr. al-Hadidi said. Osama al-Hadidi, 5, was considered one of the most stylish members of his family.

Ramallah, May 15, 2021—At least nine Palestinian children have been killed since Friday evening as Israeli forces intensified attacks on the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of Palestinian children killed to at least 41 since the escalation of hostilities on May 10.   Israeli forces carried out hundreds of air and ground strikes throughout the Gaza Strip, continuing to target residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. Since Monday, at least 139 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed and at least 1,038 Palestinians were injured, including 313 children, according to data issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza. Several days into escalating hostilities, over 17,000 Palestinians are now internally displaced and are sheltering in 41 UNRWA schools, primarily in Gaza City and other locations in North Gaza, according to UNRWA.  Israeli attacks have caused extensive damage to residential and commercial buildings, schools and civilian infrastructure, including roads, the electricity and water networks, and agricultural lands, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).  Since May 10, at least 76 buildings have been destroyed and at least 725 housing units have suffered major damage, according to data issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Public Works and Housing. Another 4,134 housing units have sustained minor damage. “As we’ve seen in past Israeli military offenses on the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted residential and civilian buildings, including schools, killing entire Palestinian families,” said Khaled Quzmar, general director at DCIP. “Israel’s complete disregard for international law ensures Palestinian children have no safe space and undoubtedly become targets. The Israeli attacks we are witnessing are deliberately and recklessly causing disproportionate civilian harm and amount to war crimes.” Israeli airstrikes killed 12-year-old Abdullah Ashraf Abdullah Jouda in Gaza City on Friday evening. Israeli warplanes struck the six-story Al-Rabee'a Building in the heart of Gaza City around 8 p.m., targeting an apartment on the second floor and destroying the second and third floors. The attack killed at least two Palestinians, including Abdullah, according to documentation collected by DCIP. Shrapnel from a rocket-propelled grenade killed six-year-old Buthaina Mahmoud Issa Obaid in North Gaza around 9:15 p.m. on May 14. Buthaina was playing outside her home on Nuzha Street in Jabalia when she was struck in the back of her head by shrapnel, according to documentation collected by DCIP. She was rushed to Indonesian hospital and pronounced dead upon arrival. DCIP has not yet been able to confirm the source of the rocket-propelled grenade and continues to investigate this incident. An Israeli airstrike in the densely-populated Al-Shati refugee camp, located northwest of Gaza City, killed at least nine members of the same family early Saturday morning. Among the dead were at least seven children ranging in age from five to 12 and their mothers. There was no prior warning before the aerial attack, according to information collected by DCIP.  An Israeli warplane targeted Alaa Abu Hatab’s three-story home in Al-Shati refugee camp around 1:30 a.m. on May 15. The airstrike completely destroyed the residential building, and rescue, civil defence, and medical teams searched for hours to find missing people under the rubble, according to documentation collected by DCIP. The family had reportedly gathered to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the holiday marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.  Among those killed in the Israeli airstrike were four of Alaa Abu Hatab’s children, brothers five-year-old Yamen Alaa Mohammad Abu Hatab; nine-year-old Bilal Alaa Mohammad Abu Hatab; Yousef Alaa Mohammad Abu Hatab, 10; and their seven-year-old, sister, Miriam Alaa Mohammad Abu Hatab. Their mother, Alaa’s wife Yasmeen was killed alongside her children,. Alaa’s sister, Maha, and three of her sons, five-year-old Osama Mohammad Sobhi al-Hadidi; seven-year-old Abdurrahman Mohammad Sobhi al-Hadidi; and Suheib Mohammad Sobhi al-Hadidi, 12, were also killed in the blast, according to documentation collected by DCIP. There were reports of an eighth child killed in the attack, Maha’s son, Yahya Mohammad Sobhi al-Hadidi, 10, but DCIP has been unable to confirm this death. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza and officials at Shifa hospital reported that nine people, including seven children, were killed. However, photos of the funeral depict 10 victims in the May 15 attack.  Maha’s five-month-old infant, Omar Mohammad Sobhi al-Hadidi, was the sole survivor of the attack, apparently shielded by his mother’s body, according to Haaretz.  DCIP has documented 32 other children killed since hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups escalated on May 10. In two separate incidents, at least two Palestinian children are missing, and while presumed dead, DCIP has not yet confirmed their deaths. The latest escalation in hostilities between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups follow weeks of mounting tension as Israeli settlers, with Israeli government support, seek to expel hundreds of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem. Palestinian-led protests against these planned expulsions have been met with state-sanctioned violence as Israeli police and paramilitary border police use excessive force against Palestinian protesters.  In December 2019, the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, announced the preliminary examination had concluded with the determination that a reasonable basis did exist and that an investigation be opened into war crimes. In March, her office announced a formal investigation into suspected war crimes in the State of Palestine after a nearly five-year preliminary examination. This week, Bensouda warned against crimes as hostilities escalated. "These are events that we are looking at very seriously," Bensouda told Reuters on May 14. "We are monitoring very closely and I remind that an investigation has opened and the evolution of these events could also be something we look at." International humanitarian law prohibits indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks and requires all parties to an armed conflict to distinguish between military targets, civilians, and civilian objects. Israel as the occupying power in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including the Gaza Strip, is required to protect the Palestinian civilian population from violence. While Israel relies on the principle of self-defense to justify military offensives on Gaza, Israeli forces are bound to customary international law rules of proportionality and necessity.

A major element of NGO propaganda consists of accusing Israel of targeting and killing civilians in Gaza. NGO Monitor has examined the use of this subterfuge during the May 2021 Gaza conflict, as well as in previous confrontations. One method used by NGOs to inflate civilian casualty numbers, accompanied by allegations of “war crimes,” is to obscure or omit essential details about specific incidents – thereby erasing the role of terrorist groups. NGOs falsely classify Palestinian terrorists as civilians and ignore evidence that implicates terror groups in the deaths of Gazan civilians. NGO Monitor research has identified 50 incidents in which Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives killed in Gaza were falsely labeled by NGOs as civilian casualties, or in which civilians killed by Hamas were implicitly attributed to Israel. (Approximately 15 percent of the 4,300 missiles fired towards Israel fell short and impacted in Gaza.) In failing to report accurately, Palestinian NGOs amplify the demonization strategy, ignore the commission of war crimes by Palestinians, and distort the reality of Israeli efforts to limit civilian casualties during the fighting. These manipulated NGO accounts also serve as the basis of inflammatory media projects, such as the infamous New York Times front page story with pictures of children, and for international “investigations”, such as a forthcoming UN Human Rights Council commission of inquiry.

Erasure of Terror Links NGO report: According to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), an Israeli drone strike killed Saber Ibrahim Mahmoud Suliman and his son Mohammed at 18:10 on May 10, 2021, in Jabalia. The NGO reported that the two were killed “as they were in the [agricultural] land.” Similarly, Al Mezan reported that two “residents of Jabalia” were killed in an Israeli air raid on farmland east of Jabalia. Additionally, Al Haq claims that the two were killed “as they worked their agricultural fields in the Jabal Al-Kashef area, east of Izbt Abd Rabbo.” Omission of Hamas ties: According to Hamas, Suliman was a field commander in the Izz Ad-Din Al-Qassam Brigades. Photographs have been published of Mohammed (15) dressed in military clothing carrying automatic weapons.  A video of Suliman instructing his son in the use of automatic weapons is revealing, and indicates that the son was a victim of the crime of child recruitment. Pictured: Muhammed Suliman dressed in military fatigues. Source Notably, the reported Israeli strike occurred at the very beginning of hostilities, just 10 minutes after Hamas launched a rocket barrage toward Jerusalem. This timing – when Israel was responding narrowly to the initial attack and had yet to widely strike targets throughout Gaza – combined with the location of the incident in an isolated area reflects a precision strike on individuals engaged in military activity. NGO report: According to Al Mezan, at 6:05 on May 12, 2021, Israeli planes struck Khan Younis, killing Mahmoud Jamil Kallousa (28). Al Mezan refers to Kallousa as “a passerby” who was killed. In its Arabic language report, the NGO labels Kallousa as a civilian. PCHR reported that the area where Kalloua was killed contained a military site belonging to “Palestinian armed groups,” adjacent to a municipal park.  Its Arabic language report also refers to Kallousa as a civilian. Omission of Hamas ties: According to Hamas, Kallousa was a combatant in the Izz al-Din Qassam Brigades. Neither NGO explained why a military installation was located next to a municipal park, or why Kallousa, a confirmed Hamas member, happened to be “passing by” at that precise moment. NGO report: According to Al Haq, at 23:50 on May 14, 2021, near Abdelrazeq Glebo Mosque in Beit Lahia, Israeli missile strikes killed Ahmed Hatem Al-Mansi (34), his brother Yousuf Hatem Al-Mansi, (22), and neighbor Ahmed Mohammed Sabbah (28). Al Haq reported that the Al-Mansi house was targeted “as residents tried to leave the house.” Al Mezan reported that the three were killed when a missile was “fired at a front yard next to a mosque.” According to PCHR, “3 civilians, including 2 brothers, were killed.” (emphasis added). Omission of Hamas ties: According to Hamas, Ahmed Mansi and Ahmed Mohammed Sabah were both combatants in the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, while the Hamas Ministry of the Interior referred to Yousuf Mansi as a “soldier.” Notably, Al-Mezan’s claim that munitions were “fired at a front yard next to a mosque,” further suggests that Hamas members were exploiting civilian objects to shield their military activity.

There is no correlation between the incidents listed below and in Table 1 and the ones mentioned above in the database. NGO report: According to DCI-P, at 18:10 on May 10, 2021, a “blast” killed eight civilians, most of them from the al-Masri family, in the al-Thahrah area, east of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip. The organization acknowledged that it had not confirmed the cause of the deaths, referring only to a “blast” that caused the incident. PCHR and Al Haq both reported that “a missile” killed the civilians, while Al Mezan originally reported that the incident was an airstrike, later revising to say instead that the casualties were the result of a “shell” hitting the house. Omission of Hamas role: The significant discrepancies in NGO reporting regarding the incident, combined with Al-Mezan’s correction and DCI-P’s cautious language, strongly suggest that these casualties were the result of Palestinian weapons that fell short and landed in Gaza. In many other reports, these NGOs consistently and regularly attributed attacks to the IDF.  The lack of such attribution in this instance is conspicuous. Similarly, Human Rights Watch (HRW), claimed that “a guided missile struck near the town of Beit Hanoun and killed 8 people, including 6 children, all apparently civilians, and reportedly injured 18.” NGO report: According to DCI-P, at 21:15 on May 14, 2021, a six year-old girl was killed by shrapnel from a rocket-propelled grenade on Nuzha Street in Jabalia. PCHR and Al Haq both reported that Buthaina Mahmoud ‘Issa ‘Obaid (6) was killed after being hit with shrapnel in the right side of her head when she was in front of her house. DCI-P acknowledged that it was not yet able to confirm the source of the rocket-propelled grenade. Omission of Hamas role: None of the NGOs reported the origin of the alleged rocket-propelled grenade. Moreover, RPGs are typically used for low to mid-range targets by infantry, there was no known Israeli ground incursion into Gaza, and these weapons are not a regular part of the IDF arsenal. These factors suggest that this incident is the result of Palestinian munitions: Either one of the RPGs fired by Palestinians towards Israel misfired, or an Israeli strike on a weapons cache led to secondary explosions. NGO report: According to Al Mezan, at 16:20 on May 12, 2021, Hammad Ayyad Mansour Al-Dabari (86) was killed by shrapnel from a missile, near Al-Sabreen Mosque, Rafah.  The NGO reported that Al-Dabari was killed by “the shrapnel of a missile that hit his home…” Al Haq and PCHR both reported that the circumstances of the incident were still under investigation, but “coincided with the firing and interception of homemade Palestinian rockets from the Israeli Iron Dome system, and the firing of Israeli artillery shells.” Omission of Hamas role: Al-Haq’s and PCHR’s explanations are inconsistent with Iron Dome’s capabilities and deployment in intercepting rockets, which could not conceivably have intercepted a rocket over Rafah. Furthermore, as noted above, Al-Mezan’s statement demonstrates that while Israeli attacks are clearly labeled as “Israeli” in its reports, the attacker is not mentioned when Palestinian rockets cause fatalities – a recurring theme throughout NGO reporting on the conflict.
