I think he was referring to the IDFs penchant for shooting Palestinian kids in the back for funsies for the last few years.

Jason Lee, Country Director for Save the Children in the occupied Palestinian territory, said:

“It is unacceptable that there is continued use of lethal force against children. So far, 34 Palestinian children in the West Bank have lost their lives in 2022, in what has become the deadliest year for children in more than 15 years. One Israeli child was reportedly also killed in an attack just this morning. Once again, children are paying the heaviest price for a conflict they have no control over."
