Israel has imprisoned a staggering 360 Palestinian children from the occupied West Bank, sparking outrage among human rights groups and families who claim these detentions are part of a system designed to crush Palestinians.
The children, many of whom have been held without being charged or put on trial, are subjected to torture and neglect in Israel's prisons. According to reports, these detentions are intended to exert control over the Palestinian population and silence dissent.
The number of children detained has reached an all-time high, highlighting the escalating situation on the ground. Rights groups have long condemned this practice, describing it as a form of collective punishment and abuse of power.
Families of the detained children say they face immense emotional distress and uncertainty. They claim their loved ones are being used as bargaining chips in the ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
The Israeli government has not provided clear information about these detentions or the conditions under which the children are held. The lack of transparency has fueled concerns that the government is trying to conceal the true extent of its policies.
International law dictates that Palestinian children, like those from any other nationality, should be treated with dignity and respect. Detaining them without charge or trial is a clear breach of these principles.
