Is the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab, alongside six of her family members, and two paramedics who came to rescue her, also a reach? Please, help me draw the line.

		I need to push down emotions to put it this way, but I think it's also important to consider that tragedies and losses of life such as hind rajab are possible even in a justified war.

> is a reach

  Israel's targeting of neonatal and maternity care centres during its war on Gaza directly endangered Palestinians' reproductive future and the survival of newborns – driving a rise in miscarriages, birth defects, and lasting vulnerabilities.

  Israel's aid blockade in Gaza last year also took a severe toll on Palestinian children, causing starvation-related deaths and a rise in disease as immunisation rates fell.

  Palestinian children have been arrested and subjected to torture in Israeli prisons and other severe forms of mistreatment, including sexual abuse.

  Israeli forces have destroyed orphanages and education facilities in the occupied West Bank, which has affected Palestinian children's cognitive, social and emotional care and development.

I mean, if you are sure there are children and there is a quite a lot of children there, it's deliberate.

It's actually one of the places in the Middle East with a higher birth rate than Israel itself, and a very high population density.

If you are shooting into the crowd which includes children, you are shooting at children even when you are not pointing at them precisely.

		Individual events need to be considered on a case-by-case basis, but surely you would agree that if your combat enemy is hiding amidst children it is they who have deliberately chosen for those children to become collateral damage?
