According to the Defense for Children International-Palestine, every year between 500 and 700 Palestinian children are prosecuted by the zionist regime in military courts.

Until the end of March 2021, human rights groups have counted 230 Palestinian children detained by the zionist occupation, mostly from Jerusalem.

Dylan Williams, former US Senate staffer and senior vice president of the advocacy group J Street, tweeted last month: "Harassment of young Palestinian children by israeli settlers and their frequent arrest and detention by israeli forces comprises a pattern of international law violations — and may also constitute repeated violations of US law to the extent US-sourced military equipment is used."

Palestine Children's Day is observed on 5th April every year. (ILKHA)
