Israeli military forces continue to target young Palestinians and violently arrest them across the occupied territories, having detained 230 minors since the beginning of the current year.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said in a report on Sunday that the arrests were mostly in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
The rights group further noted that the detainees are often released on bail or placed under house arrest, without announcing the number of those who were freed.
“The imprisoned children are subjected to various forms of abuse, including being denied food or drink for long hours, verbal abuse, and being detained under harsh conditions,” it said.
