Palestinian Children are routinely abused by Israel in many ways.
In their own land Palestinians are kept in conditions of apartheid and have different roads and footpaths to Israelis.
Palestinian children routinely have to put up with violence and intimidation from Israelis troops on the way to and from school every day. 2018 Mar 6 Counterpunch Israeli Army’s Lies Can No Longer Salvage Its Image [2]
95 schools were a target of Israeli attacks which are estimated to be 352 attacks in total. The attacks included breaking into schools and inflicting financial damages, the firing of live and rubber bullets, stun grenades, and gas bombs and the partial or total disruption of school days. 2018 Mar 6 Palinfo 9 Palestinian students killed, 603 injured by Israeli forces in 2017 [3]
Children are imprisoned without due process – “Israel has the dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes an estimated 500 to 700 children each year in military courts lacking fundamental fair trial rights,” according to Defense for Children International-Palestine. Children within the Israeli military system commonly report physical and verbal abuse from the moment of their arrest, and coercion and threats during interrogations. Ill-treatment in the Israeli military detention system remains “widespread, systematic, and institutionalized throughout the process,” according to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF). There are currently about 350 Palestinian children in Israeli jails. Palestine Advocacy Project Ahed [4]

This is totally unacceptable from an Israeli state that it seems is unaccountable on world or national stage.
WHY?
350 Palestinian minors incarcerated in Israeli prisons: NGO
A Palestinian non-governmental and civil organization says the Tel Aviv regime is keeping 350 Palestinian minors behind bars in prisons and detention facilities across the occupied territories.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS), in a statement released on Thursday, announced that it has recorded 67 cases of child arrests during February.
It further noted that 182 minors are currently being held in Ofer Prison near the central West Bank city of Ramallah. Three of the inmates are serving administrative detention, which involves imprisonment without trial or charge.
Loai Mansi, the representative of minor detainees at Ofer Prison, said Israeli soldiers have assaulted and beaten Palestinian minors during detention.
He added that the story of a 13-year-old boy, whom prison guards could not handcuff because of his small hands, is a clear proof that he is too young to be arrested.
Mansi said a total of 117 minors have been transferred to Ofer Prison since the beginning of the current year.
He went on to say that an estimated 168 other minors are currently in Megiddo and Hasharon prisons.
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.
Some Palestinian prisoners have been held in administrative detention for up to 11 years.
Palestinian inmates regularly stage hunger strikes in protest at the administrative detention policy and their harsh prison conditions in Israeli jails.
According to reports, at least 13 Palestinian lawmakers are currently imprisoned in Israeli detention facilities. Nine of them are being held without trial under administrative detention.
