In this eye-opening video, we delve into the stark realities of Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, shedding light on the ongoing struggles faced by countless individuals. Just a short while ago, Israel engaged in a prisoner exchange drama, releasing some prisoners, but the harsh truth remains – Palestinians are still being arrested and shamelessly incarcerated without trial, often within the confines of Israeli prisons.
Here are 8 shocking facts about Palestinians in Israeli prisons:
Since 1967, Israel has arrested and imprisoned over 750,000 Palestinians.
Before October 7, 2023, at least 5,200 Palestinians were already held in Israeli jails.
Post October 7, 2023, an additional 3,000 individuals were arrested, including 145 children, 95 women, and 37 journalists.
The youngest child in Israeli custody, according to an Israeli government list, is just 14 years old.
Every year, at least 700 children under 18 from the occupied West Bank face prosecution in Israeli military courts.
Shockingly, a Palestinian child can be sentenced to 20 years in prison for the "crime" of throwing a stone.
As of September 2023, 1,310 Palestinians, including 146 minors, are imprisoned without charge or trial.
Israel has issued over 1,000 military orders since 1967, often deeming innocent actions as criminal offenses and providing a pretext for the arbitrary arrest of innocent Palestinians.
