A report by a Palestinian human rights center reveals that Israeli forces have killed at least 54 Palestinian children and arrested over 900 others since the beginning of 2018.

Iran PressMiddle East: The human rights center reported that 80 percent of the children were killed during demonstrations in the so-called buffer zone in the Gaza Strip .

The report also condemned what it described as Israel’s systematic violation of Palestinian children’s rights, Press TV reported.

According to the group’s investigation, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Study and Documentation, Israel's rights violation is not limited to trial of children in military courts, but it starts from the moment of arrest.

The report said Israelis carry out interrogation sessions in which children are often handcuffed, blindfolded, beaten and insulted.

Since the beginning of 2018, more than 310 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, almost all unarmed civilians, the report added.

The report almost confirms an earlier toll announced by renowned children rights NGO Defense for Children International – Palestine, which said last month the Israeli military troopers had shot and killed more than 50 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip so far this year.

The Gaza Strip has been witnessing tensions since March 30, which marked the start of the “Great March of Return” protests demanding the right to return for the Palestinians driven out of their homeland.

"Great march of return" is an action which the Palestinian people consider necessary to maintain in order to achieve their aspirations, and this presence of Palestinians and liberators in the world can thwart Zionist American plans again. 105
