David Roet, the Israeli Ambassador to Austria, suggested executing Palestinian children in Gaza for allegedly carrying weapons such as guns or grenades. He made this statement during a meeting with the Jewish community in Innsbruck, Austria, but failed to provide any evidence of such incidents. The ambassador dismissed international concerns over civilian casualties. According to UNICEF, since the beginning of the genocide in October 2023, Israeli forces have killed over 14,500 children in Gaza, with the death toll now rising to 15,613.
