Over 2,000 Palestinian Children Detained by Israel

From the report

More than 2,000 Palestinian children have been detained by Israeli forces since October 2023. Of them, 350 are being held in ‘harsh and inhumane conditions,’ according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society, Al Jazeera reports.

In a report published on Wednesday (October 14), the organization stated that Israeli authorities are taking various repressive measures targeting Palestinian children. The report alleged that these measures, which begin with intimidation and arrest, later escalate to torture, starvation, and deprivation of medical care.

According to the organization, Israel’s policy of detaining children without formal charges or a specified release date constitutes a violation of their rights and amounts to even more serious crimes.
