New Report Details Israel's Pattern of Kidnapping, Torturing and Humiliating Gazan Children

A new report from Defense for Children International Palestine says
Israeli forces are detaining and torturing Palestinian children in Gaza,
using children as human shields and "intentionally and systematically"
separating children from their families. The report includes testimony
of children survivors, including the case of many boys who were forced
to strip naked and walk with their hands bound in front of Israeli tanks
and bulldozers. The children were also beaten, denied water and
threatened with dogs. Sixteen-year-old Abdulmunim, who was abducted with
his younger brother Ali, said he was barely able to move after Israeli
forces blindfolded them, tied them up and beat them with rifles before
leaving them in the cold.
