Israeli Forces Detained At Least 95,000 Children Since 1967 In West Bank: Study

Military Court Watch, in its report, said that about 95,000 children have been detained in the West Bank over the decades — some of them taken into custody in “terrifying military raids” on their homes at night — and some 59,000 of the detained children have been subjected to physical torture. The report, citing 200 testimonies of minors detained between 2013 and 2015, also accuses Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of widespread, systematic and institutionalized abuse of Palestinian children in the West Bank.
