Defense for Children International-Palestine reported that 51 percent of 351 Palestinian children detained by Israel as of December 31, 2025, were held under administrative detention without charge or trial—the highest number and proportion since the group began monitoring in 2008. The rights organization cited concerns over systematic torture and abusive conditions in Israeli detention facilities, while Palestinian advocacy groups documented over 9,500 Palestinians held by Israel, with more than a third in administrative detention.
