It underlined that 176 Palestinian citizens, including 45 children and seven women, were martyred in 2022, adding that this number is the largest in four years.

For its part, the Hamas Movement said in a statement on the same occasion that the escalating Israeli crimes against Palestinian children will not weaken the Palestinian people’s determination to defend their rights and lands.
