Occupation isolates most Palestinian minors
Israeli Prison Service data reveals that more than half of Palestinian minors detained in 2025 were subjected to solitary confinement at least once. Of the 635 minors, 351 were placed in solitary confinement, with the youngest between 13 and 14 years old. In most cases, the isolation lasted from seven to fourteen days, often without trial. It is mainly used as a punitive measure, with approximately 154 minors subjected to it multiple times. The harm caused by solitary confinement, especially to children, is severe, leading to significant deterioration in detention conditions. These include the spread of scabies due to poor hygiene, overcrowding, and lack of proper sanitation supplies. Human rights organizations confirm that such practices violate child rights standards, which stipulate that isolation should be used only as a last resort, for the shortest possible duration, and under strict conditions.
