The BBC World Service has compiled material on more than one-hundred and sixty cases of children shot in Gaza and found that in ninety-five of them, the victim was shot in the head or chest. Many had no other injury. In most cases, the child was younger than twelve. The investigation looked at material from the first few weeks of the war up until July this year. The Israeli military said intentional harm to civilians, especially children, was strictly prohibited.
