The Save the Children report, *Injustice: Palestinian children’s experience of the Israeli military detention system 2023*, details the violence experienced by Palestinian children under 17 at the hands of Israeli military personnel. The report documents various forms of physical, psychological, and emotional abuse throughout the detention process, from arrest and interrogation to transfer and imprisonment.

The most prevalent experience was the threat of physical violence, reported by 70% of respondents. Stripping and searching was reported by 69%. Threats against family members were reported by 64%, while 60% reported being beaten with instruments such as sticks or guns. Sixty percent also experienced solitary confinement, ranging from one to 48 days. Finally, 44% reported being forced to witness or hear the torture of other detainees.

Violence often began at the time of arrest. 73% reported being kicked, punched, or slapped by Israeli soldiers. The majority (65%) of arrests occurred at night, with 45% taking place after midnight. Only 4% received prior notification of their arrest; half of all arrests occurred at the children's homes.

The research involved 228 former child detainees: 177 survey respondents and 51 focus group discussion participants. All participants were aged 12-17 at the time of detention and 15-21 at the time of the study. All had been detained within the previous three years, with 71% detained in the year preceding the survey. The report was published in July 2023.
