Marking a Decade of Impunity: The Killing of Four Bakr Children by the Israeli Military in Gaza

Posted on July 18, 2024July 18, 2024 | Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights

Gaza, Haifa, 16 July 2024 — Today marks exactly 10 years since the killing of four Palestinian children from the Bakr family – Ahed (9 years), Zakaria (10 years), Mohammed (11 years), and Ismail (9 years) – by the Israeli military in Gaza. In marking this somber anniversary, Al Mezan, Adalah, and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) highlight the systematic failure of the Israeli legal system to hold perpetrators accountable for acts of violence against Palestinians. This failure persists amid Israel’s genocidal military campaign against more than two million Palestinians in Gaza over the last nine months.
