Alwaght-Israeli regime forces have killed three Palestinian minors and arrested 52 others since the beginning of the current year amid rising brutality of the regime.
The killings of kids by the Israeli regime comes after a controversial decision by US President Donald Trump to recognize al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the "capital" of the Israeli entity.
The Information Ministry of the Palestinian National Authority in Ramallah released a statement released on Sunday, accusing Israeli regime authorities of “escalating assaults against Palestinian children.”
It said Israeli attacks have sharply risen since the US president’s controversial move.
By late November last year, fifteen Palestinian minors had lost their lives during skirmishes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli military forces in the occupied West Bank and besieged Gaza Strip since the beginning of 2017 year.
Defense for Children International (DCI), a Geneva-based NGO focusing on children's rights, reported that 2016 saw the highest number of Palestinian children killed by Israeli troops over the past decade, warning that Tel Aviv is not being held accountable for its lethal attacks.
The report by DCI, a Geneva-based NGO focusing on children's rights, noted that 35 children were killed and 83 others injured by Israeli troops that year.
More than 7,000 Palestinians are reportedly held at Israeli jails. Hundreds of the inmates have apparently been incarcerated under the practice of administrative detention, a policy under which Palestinian inmates are kept in Israeli detention facilities without trial or charge.
Some Palestinian prisoners have been held in administrative detention for up to eleven years. Palestinian inmates regularly stage hunger strikes in protest at the administrative detention policy and their harsh prison conditions in Israeli jails.
