Israel increasing use of solitary confinement for Palestinians, including for minors




There has been a marked increase in Palestinian prisoners, particularly minors, being held in solitary confinement since Israel's genocide in Gaza began, according to recently published data.

The data was published this week by Physicians for Human Rights, who obtained it through a freedom of information request to the Israel Prison Service. 

It showed that the number of minors transferred to solitary confinement rose from one in 2022 to 50 in 2023, before spiking significantly to 290 in 2024. 

Meanwhile, the number of adult detainees held in solitary confinement nearly tripled year-on-year in 2024, reaching 4,493. 

Female detainees in solitary confinement rose too, from two in 2022 to 25 two years later.
