Detention of Palestinian children

Reports indicate that Israel reportedly detains approximately 500-700 Palestinian children each year, with ages ranging from 12 to 17. Alarmingly, roughly 60% of these children experience physical mistreatment during their nighttime arrests, which involves actions such as blindfolding, restraining their hands, and beatings inflicted by the military. Upon reaching an Israeli interrogation facility, approximately 80% of Palestinian children go through strip searches conducted by adult Israeli soldiers before undergoing interrogation.
