Syrian Palestinian journalist from Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus Nidal Bitari on the recruitment of Palestinian refugee children by ISIS and other militias:
Since June, an estimated seventy-five children between seven and thirteen-years-old are being trained to fight in the name of God. Al-Nusra places them at checkpoints on the frontlines to monitor the movements of their adversaries on the other side. By the end of 2015, many of them will be deemed ready for battle. Often these children are used for suicide operations or to drive car bombs across enemy lines.
