Over 100 Palestinian children are currently detained in Israeli jails, according to head of the Palestinian Prisoner's Club legal unit Jawad Boulos, of whom 26 were arrested in last month.
33 Palestinian child prisoners are currently serving actual prison sentences for various lengths of time.
Boulos affirmed that based on the affidavits of minor prisoners, most of the arrests were made during the late night hours, where children are taken from homes and subjected to interrogation without the presence of a legal guardian according to Israeli laws.
In 2014, approximately one thousand Palestinian children were arrested by Israeli forces, often for no reason. Their arrest include systematic abuse, including physical assault and forced confessions.
At least 480 Palestinian children were killed by Israel during its summer attack on the Gaza Strip, while 11 Palestinian kids were killed by live ammunition in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
