An Israeli government report released on May 19 claims Israeli occupation forces did not kill 12-year-old Muhammad Al-Durra and that he may not be dead at all. Credible human rights organizations disagree. Jamal Al-Durra, Muhammad's father, responded: "Israel says my son isn't dead. Can you imagine how this feels for a father who has lost his child? They have all the technology tools in the world. He's not dead? Then bring him to me."

Muhammad is just one victim of nearly 1,400 Palestinian children who have been killed since 2000 as a result of the Israeli military occupation and settler presence in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. The image is provided by the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) based on the number of child fatalities within each age group based on DCI-P documentation. DCI-P is the Defence for Children International- Palestine and the full report is viewable on their website.
