SHAFAQNA- Relatives of four Palestinian children who were killed in an Israeli attack in 2014 have denounced a decision by Israel’s Supreme Court to reject a request to reopen an investigation into the deaths as inhumane.
Four members of the Bakr family – Muhammad 12, Zakaria 10, Ismail 10, Ahed 11 – were killed during Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza while playing football on the beach.
In a ruling last Sunday, Israel’s top court upheld earlier decisions by Israeli authorities that determined the killings were a mistake. Mohammad, 60, the father of one of the children killed, told Al-Jazeera he was not surprised by the ruling.
“It is normal in life under Israeli occupation; [Israel] commits a crime and then denies it completely,” he said. “The world talks about children and their rights. Where are the rights of our Palestinian children?”
