Over 600 Palestinian children were put under house arrest in 2022 at the order of Israeli occupation courts, according to the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, addingIsraeli occupation authorities resort to house arrest, mainly imposed against children and youth in occupied Jerusalem, as a form of punishment for children under the age of 14 because Israeli law does not permit their imprisonment.
During the period of house arrest, the child is forced not to leave the house at all during which the child has to wear a tracking electronic bracelet, and will not be allowed to go to school or to even to a clinic without being accompanied by a supervisor.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS), there are currently 150 Palestinian children and minors held in Israeli occupation prisons.
