**Analysis**
The text appears to be a formal statement from the United Nations, specifically the Security Council, condemning the actions of the Israeli army in the Palestinian territories. The language used is strong and critical, highlighting the humanitarian consequences of the actions, such as the use of tear gas on children and the killing of innocent civilians. The text also mentions the Israeli army's tendency to target children and civilians, which suggests that the issue is not just a matter of security, but also a matter of human rights and international law.
