UN condemns Israeli killing of Palestinian toddler
ANKARA (AA): The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process on Monday condemned the killing of a Palestinian toddler by Israeli forces.
“I condemn and am deeply saddened by the death of a 2-year-old Palestinian boy, who was critically injured by Israeli security forces’ gunfire in Al-Nabi Saleh,” said Tor Wennesland on Twitter.
He added that “civilians and particularly children continue to bear the brunt of this conflict” and urged the Israeli authorities to bring “those responsible to be held to account.”
Earlier in the day, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced the death of two-year-old Mohammad Tamimi, who was seriously wounded on Thursday when Israeli forces opened fire on a car in the town of Nabi Saleh near Ramallah. His father was also injured in the attack.
According to Palestinian figures, more than 155 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the start of this year. At least 21 Israelis have also been killed in separate attacks during the same period.
