Israeli soldiers threw children into a pit and circled around them with tanks, Palestinian journalist says

Israeli soldiers threw Palestinian children into a pit and circled around them with a tank, spewing dust and sand into the hole, a Palestinian journalist reported on X on Thursday.

“They took all the children from their mothers and put them inside what resembled a pit or a hole. The tank came to circle around them repeatedly until their bones cracked under the pressure of dust and sand, amidst the screams of children and the wailing of mothers," the Palestinian journalist said, quoting one of the mothers who witnessed the incident. 

According to the report, the soldiers followed up by throwing children towards a group of mothers, who were forced to carry the children with no guarantee that the child they received was their own.
