Palestinian prisoners’ group says 275 children in Israeli jails
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) has said 275 Palestinian children were in Israeli jails as of September, some awaiting trial and others having been given harsh sentences.
The ages of those held in detention range from 14 to 17, the monitor group said.
Palestinians of all ages are subject to Israeli military law in courts run by Israeli soldiers and officers, meaning a large number of Palestinians are imprisoned without basic due process.
NGOs have repeatedly called on the Israeli government to respect international law and end the prosecution and detention of children under military law.
Group sounds alarm over deteriorating condition of two Palestinian prisoners
The Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs has warned that the health of Faisal Sabana, 65, from Qabatiya, south of Jenin, and Ali Abu Atiya, 29, from Ramallah, is rapidly deteriorating amid medical neglect in Israeli prisons.
Sabana has been held without charges or trial since October 25, 2023, and is currently confined in Ramla prison clinic after being transferred from Nafha prison following a heart attack on November 1, 2025. The Wafa news agency said he reportedly experienced symptoms days before the attack and requested medical attention, which was denied.
Abu Atiya was apprehended on November 4 near his workplace in Ramallah and shot at close range in his left thigh. He was taken to Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem, where he underwent two consecutive surgeries and now needs assistance to walk.
