At least 100 children have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon since Israel dramatically escalated its attacks on the country on September 23, the UN’s child relief agency, UNICEF, said Friday.
Citing Lebanon’s Health Ministry, UNICEF said 127 children have been killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon over the past year, with more than 100 dying between September 23 and October 4. Israeli attacks on Lebanon have wounded at least 890 children since October 8, 2023.
“Doctors tell us of treating children who are bloodied, bruised, and broken, suffering both physically and mentally. Many are experiencing anxiety, flashbacks, and nightmares related to explosions. No child should be subjected to such horrific situations,” said Adele Khodr, UNICEF’s director for the Middle East.
The number of child casualties in Lebanon has likely risen since Friday as Israel continues to pound Lebanon. Israel launched its heaviest bombing yet on Beirut from Saturday into Sunday, with about 30 strikes reported in Dahiyeh, the city’s southern suburb.
Lebanon’s children have also been suffering a massive displacement crisis in the wake of Israel’s escalations. Lebanon’s government has said more than 1.2 million people have been displaced, including over 400,000 children.
Similar to the Israeli assault on Gaza, Israeli warplanes have bombed evacuation routes in Lebanon, including the Masnaa border crossing, which connects Lebanon and Syria. Israeli strikes on the crossing early Friday severely damaged the road, forcing Lebanese fleeing into Syria to travel by foot.
When you have Harris, a Candidate for President, running ADS about how she will protect women's rights to kill their children (abortion), guarantees she supports Netanyahu's killing of children. The USA has become an inhumane society, where we advertise the glory of killing children, our own children and the world's children. The Satanic Politicians are running our country and we need to vote them OUT! We are sending parents to jail because their child takes their gun and shoots his classmates, yet we vote for Genocidal Maniacs who are slaughtering babies, children, pregnant women around the Globe. Stop being afraid of the Zionist Rep/Dem Party and vote AGAINST them!
Well said! Truth. 😑
Netanyahu: Operation No Lebanese Child Left Behind.
That's inhumane. That's also expensive. But don't you worry. We don't consider them "Human" and we will reimburse Netanyahu for his trouble.
"Lebanon’s children have also been suffering a massive displacement crisis" And why are they being displaced? Because Lebanon fires on Israel almost daily for the last year and Israel fires back. This is so simple, don't fire on Israel and these civilian losses would not have occurred.
Wrong! Dumbass. The zio-kikes are resposible for all of this! 😑
It is so simple. Don't do a genocide in Gaza and you won't be attacked daily.
