"Children" or "Terrorists"? BBC presented teen terrorists as “children” Israel “happily kills”

The above video shows BBC host Anjana Gadgil stating that “the Israeli forces are happy to kill children” during an interview with former Israel PM Bennett. Gadgil also presented 4 Palestinian teenagers who were killed in Jenin as such “children,” citing the UN for this definition. However, PMW exposed that at least 3 of the 4 “children” were terrorists, each belonging to a different terror organization: The Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and Fatah’s terror wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.

Palestinian Media Watch made this video of BBC’s statements, adding photos showing that the so-called “children” were in fact teen terrorists:

 

BBC host Anjana Gadgil: “The Israeli forces are happy to kill children.

On your definition, you are calling them "terrorists."

BBC: “The UN has defined them as ‘children.’

And we know that four people between the ages of 16 and 18 have been killed in this targeted attack.

Let's not forget it is a targeted attack.”

2023 Operation Home and Garden - an Israeli counter-terror operation in Jenin that lasted from July 3-5, 2023. The operation targeted terror infrastructure in the city, and particularly the Islamic Jihad-affiliated terror group the Jenin Brigade, after 50 terror attacks had originated from the city and 19 terrorists had fled to it since the start of 2023. Israeli soldier David Yehuda Yitzhak, 23, was killed during the operation, while at least 18 Palestinian terrorists were killed and over 300 terror suspects were arrested.

During the operation, Israeli forces attacked a terror headquarters located next to a medical clinic and two schools, one of them belonging to UNRWA. Several weapons factories were discovered containing hundreds of explosives and weapons caches. Terrorists opened fire on Israeli forces from within a mosque in the Jenin refugee camp, and after gaining control of the site, the Israeli forces discovered weapons caches including explosives and entrances to underground tunnels in the mosque's basement.
