In one example investigated by the Commission, between 20 and 21 December 2023, in Sheikh Radwan, Israeli soldiers threw four hand grenades inside a house with 30 family members without any warning, severely injuring a five-year-old boy who suffered from multiple injuries including abdominal evisceration.
The Israeli security forces then forcibly entered the house, shot and killed eight family members, including the parents, and ordered the survivors to evacuate to a nearby school.
The Israeli security forces did not provide any medical assistance to the injured or assist with their evacuation. The boy was carried from the house to the school with severe injuries. He lost consciousness at the school, while he was treated by a doctor who reinserted his exposed intestines by using diapers and taped his stomach. He was taken to the Al-Shifa Hospital where he underwent surgery alone.
Later, the boy was medically evacuated out of Gaza and underwent eight surgeries, while three more were still needed, as of December 2025. The boy has been left with a permanent disability in one of his legs and has to use a wheelchair.
The boy and his surviving six-year-old brother suffer from severe mental harm and behavioural change as a result of this incident, in particular since they witnessed the brutal shooting of their parents by the Israeli security forces, including their pregnant mother shot in the abdomen and breasts and father in the head (see para. 244 in the Section (V). Mental harm against Palestinian children by Israel).
The Commission finds that Israeli soldiers of the 162nd Division, specifically the 401st Brigade and Shayetet 13, were operating in the area at the time of this incident.
