Al Jazeeradeliberately targeting children

PBS NewsHour

PBS NewsHour reported that an Israeli drone strike on a tent shelter in Deir al-Balah on June 29, 2026, killed three Palestinians including 8-year-old Malik Abu Shawish, while a separate tank shelling killed 13-year-old Eileen al-Farra. Additional strikes on Sunday killed two others, one identified as Islamic Jihad member Zaher Abu Salem. Israel's military stated one strike targeted a militant; a ceasefire had taken hold in October with near-daily Israeli strikes continuing afterward.

How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

Incidents show ongoing civilian toll, especially on children, after ceasefire, raising proportionality concerns.

“Human costs to vulnerable populations in confined areas outweigh stated militant targets.”

Conservative

Strikes targeted militants such as Zaher Abu Salem amid embedding tactics by groups like Islamic Jihad.

“Asymmetric warfare realities explain collateral deaths rather than deliberate policy.”

Libertarian

State use of lethal force in populated zones violates individual rights regardless of stated targets.

“Prolonged conflict normalizes civilian harm through distant authority decisions.”

Devil's Advocate

All views accept unverified source framing without testing for militant activity or verification gaps.

“Narrative isolates child deaths from broader threat context and source limitations.”
