The Tamimi family has been in the forefront of the struggle against the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The Israeli occupation has been actively persecuting the family for decades over their weekly protests against the theft of their lands in favor of the illegal Jewish settlement of Halamish near Nabi Saleh. Several members of the family have been detained and killed over the years. Her cousin Mohammad Fadel Tamimi was shot in the head at close range with a rubber-coated steel bullet. Part of his skull had to be removed to dislodge the bullet. Despite his injury, Israeli occupation forces kidnapped him and interrogated him without his parents or a lawyer present. Peace can only be achieved by respecting human rights, especially the rights of children. The international community must continue to expose and take actions against the unjust and ongoing mistreatment of Palestinian children living under Israeli occupation

ICSFT condemns the actions of Israel, who must stop their persecution against Palestinian children in the Occupied Territories, respect the rights of the Palestinian people and seriously comply with its international obligations
