“Every single day and in countless ways, Palestinian children are victims of Israeli human rights violations, with no child considered too young to be spared the oppression being meted out by the Israeli occupying forces and extremist settlers,” Ambassador Riyad Mansour wrote in the letter released late Saturday, Ma’an News Agency reported on Sunday.

The letter further added, “These crimes committed against our children are intolerable and unacceptable,” pointing out that abusing children by Israel is in violation of international humanitarian and human rights laws.

The complaint came just days after a seven-year-old Palestinian boy, Ahmad Zaatari, was interrogated by Israeli regime forces for nearly eight hours, in what Mansour described as “a horrifying and traumatic ordeal for a child of any age.”

According to the report, the seven-year-old was detained along with his 12-year-old cousin Muhammed Zaatari on April 29 in the neighborhood of Wadi al-Joz in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

The Israeli regime detained 1,266 Palestinian children below the age of 15 in East al-Quds and the West Bank in 2014, according to a report by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), which added that over 10,000 Palestinian children have been detained by Israeli forces since 2000.
