Palestinian Prisoners’ Club says Israel has detained over 2,000 children since October 2023

Israeli authorities have detained more than 2,000 Palestinian children since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023, with at least 350 children remaining in custody, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club. In a statement issued on Wednesday, the independent Palestinian human rights organization said detained children face harsh conditions, including torture, food deprivation, isolation and denial of medical care. The organisation reported that Israeli forces detained at least six Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank overnight, primarily in the towns of Sa’ir and Al-Shuyukh in the Hebron Governorate. It said the arrests were part of an ongoing campaign of detentions targeting Palestinian minors. READ: Israel arrests Palestinian man wanted for nearly 10 years in occupied West Bank […]
