Boys aged 15 and 17 were integrated into the terrorist operative networks; a terrorist operative in his twenties was listed as 13 years of age. Examples of teenagers killed in the fighting include Wasim Rida Salhia, 15, from Khan Yunis, an operative in the Abu Rish Brigades of Fatah, and Anas Qandil, 17, an operative in Islamic Jihad's Jerusalem Brigades.
