Gaza, MINA – Israeli occupation authorities have arrested more than 53,000 Palestinian children since 1967, the Palestinian Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs said in a statement on Monday.

Abdul-Nasser Farawna, the commission’s head of Studies and Documentation Department, said that the Israeli occupation deals with Palestinian children like adults, stating that they are subject to the same torture, investigation and detention conditions.

This number, Ferwana said, includes girls and boys, stressing that Israel does not respect international laws and conventions when it comes to dealing with minors, MEMO reported.

About 1,300 Palestinian children were detained in 2021, Ferawna said; a 140 per cent increase in the rate of child detentions compared to the previous year.
