The Impacts of the Practices of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on the Palestinian Children

Öz

This research paper aimed at identifying the practices of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF), which have an impact on the Palestinian children. Precisely, this paper attempted to answer the questions: “(1) what are the IOF practices that impacted the Palestinian children? and (2) how did such practices impact the children?” A mixed methodology was used, where secondary data issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Health as well as the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics was analyzed. The qualitative data, however, was obtained by using content analysis tool to analyze reports published by national and international NGOs working in the Palestinian territories. The results showed that the IOF practiced killing, arrest, intimidation, injuries, and harassment. It was also found that the IOF practices resulted in many mental illnesses among a high proportion of children, represented by fear, panic, psychological disorders, anxiety, insecurity and other psychological illnesses. IOF practices led to depriving the children of the basic needs such as their right to education and health services, which is a violation of the international human rights law. In addition, the results showed that the IOF attempted to demoralize the children, deter them from demonstrating, and erode their loyalty for their homeland.
