Palestine Center for Prisoners Studies has monitored 48 administrative detention decisions targeting minors since the Jerusalem Intifada of October 2015.

The Center described the administrative detention as a sword hanging over the necks of the Palestinian people and Israel uses it excessively and as a policy of collective punishment without taking into account the precautions laid down by international law that limit its use except in a very narrow framework.

The center's report indicated that Palestinian children were not immune to this arbitrary policy that affected dozens of them, especially since the outbreak of the Jerusalem Intifada in late 2015, as Israel escalated the issuance of such policy against minors and it reached 48 decisions, two of whom are still languishing in the Israeli prisons under administrative detention.

Israel is holding 380 prisoners in its prisons under arbitrary administrative detention, most of whom are ex-prisoners, who spent different periods inside prisons and re-arrested again, and most of them were renewed for other periods, including 3 female prisoners, 2 children, and 6 members of the Legislative Council.
