The Israeli Occupation Authorities (IOA) extended on Sunday evening the detention of Qassam Abu Baker 16 for the seventh consecutive time.
Family sources affirmed that Salem military court has extended the arrest of Abu Baker from the Jenin-district town of Yabad till next Thursday pending investigation.
Last week UN deputy spokesman Farhan Haq said during a press conference held at the UN headquarters in New York that the number of Palestinian minors held in Israeli lock-ups has hit 500 expressing deep concern over their detention condition.
Palestinian children in Israeli penitentiaries have been made to endure dire detention conditions and harsh torture tactics most notorious among which being strip-searches heavy beating verbal assaults and exhaustive interrogation to force confession.
