Data on minors in IPS custody in previous years

Data on minors in IDF custody in previous years

Notes:

  1. Beginning in August 2008, the figures include Palestinian prisoners who are residents of East Jerusalem. In  its figures for previous months and years, the IPS did not include these prisoners in their figures on Palestinian prisoners.

  2. The statistics presented above indicate the number of Palestinian minors who are residents of the Occupied Territories held by the IPS and the IDF on the specific date listed. B'Tselem does not have statistics on the total number of minors held by the IDF in a particular month. B'Tselem also does not have statistics on minors held by the Israeli Police.

  3. * = No statistics provided.

  4. The statistics do not include individuals held on criminal counts.

  5. The figures were provided to B'Tselem by the IPS and the IDF, who are responsible for their accuracy.
