Eight Jerusalemite minors were convicted on Monday by Israeli Army of being involved in alleged anti-occupation attacks.
The Israeli radio claimed that the eight minors planned while being detained in Megiddo prison to carry out anti-occupation attacks against Israeli forces including Molotov cocktail attacks.
They were also charged of planning to buy weapons after their supposed release.
Therefore Israeli prosecution decided to extend their detention pending investigation.
According to Defense for Children International Israel holds hundreds of Palestinian children in its prisons.
Israel has the dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes between 500 and 700 children in military courts each year.
