Child protection
Children enjoy special protection under international human rights law and international humanitarian law. This protection extends to their places of residence, health facilities, playgrounds, and transportation, and is not limited to schools.
Follow-up and fairness
Regarding the incident of “the death of the child Hilal Abu Taha, who succumbed to his injuries near the Dome Mosque,” it is important to distinguish between the documented news and the final legal assessment; the binding characterization of any incident requires an investigation into the circumstances, context, and available evidence.
