Israel kept over 600 Palestinian children under house arrest in 2022
The data published by the Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs does not include all the children arrested by Israeli occupation forces this year, which, according to some sources, is above 750, reports PEOPLES DISPATCH
At least 958 Palestinian children were wounded by Israeli forces or settlers across the occupied territories in the same period, and over 750 have been arrested or detained. At least 150 Palestinian children, below the age of 18, are in different Israeli prisons serving various sentences.

MORE than 600 Palestinian children were kept under house arrest by Israeli occupation forces in 2022, according to the Commission for Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs, a prisoners’ rights body, which issued a statement on Monday December 26.
Minors were detained by the Israeli state for periods ranging between a few days and, in some cases, years, the Wafa news agency reported.
The detained children are not allowed to move freely or even go to school without an escort. They are also forced to wear tracking devices throughout the detention period.
