<p>The Government is aware of the high numbers of Palestinians, including children,
killed by Israel Defence Forces in the West Bank and Gaza. We have urged Israel to
ensure that its investigation is swift and comprehensive. We continue to stress the
importance of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the
Palestinian civilian population, in particular the need to protect children, and urge
restraint in the use of live fire. In instances where there have been accusations
of excessive use of force, we advocate transparent investigations.</p>
