These children from Gaza were killed on January 2, 2009, by Israel, none were participating in the hostilities when killed. They were innocent and defenseless children, and they were killed in violation of The Fourth Geneva Convention, that contains provisions protecting civilians in conflicts. Civilians and civilian objects are not proper targets of Israeli strikes. Israel needs to be held accountable for all these killings of Palestinian children, their blood cries out for justice! And the world is fed up with Israel's killing of the children of Palestine, it has been going on for close to 70 years now! The Occupation needs to cease and the children need to stop being targets of Israeli violence!
