The report Kinocide: The Weaponization of Families introduces a groundbreaking framework to address the systematic targeting of families during conflicts, exemplified by the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel.

The concept of kinocide adds a new perspective to conversations about accountability and long-term social impact.
