In total, the Israeli Military apprehended 27 minors, ages 7-15 during this incident.\u00a0 An international protester took the\u00a0video above.\u00a0 According to BtSelem, an Israeli human rights group, 14 were under the age of 12.\u00a0 It is illegal to detain Israeli children under the age of 12, but the occupied Palestinian territories are subject to a different set of laws through the Israeli military.<\/p>\n<p>Though reports of the details differ, according to\u00a0the EAPPI report:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; two of the children were released on the side of a road shortly after being detained. The remaining 25 children were taken to the police station near the Ibrahimi Mosque, where they were photographed and had their fingerprints taken.\u00a0 Teachers from the school went to the police station but were not allowed to enter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; At 2:00PM the soldiers released the 8 youngest children, and continued to detain the remaining 17, who are all between the ages of 13 and 15.\u00a0 After interrogating them at the police station the soldiers transported the 17 children to the Jabarah and Junaid military bases, where they continued to question them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Later that night soldiers released 14 of the remaining children. Three of the children, Muhamad Al-Razim, Muhamad Burqan and Muhamad Al-Fakhoury (ages 14-15) were transported to the Ofer Military Prison where they were still detained as of Wednesday, March 27.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The minors were questioned, photographed and had their fingerprints taken multiple times without consent and without the presence of parents, legal guardians, lawyers or teachers. Moreover, throughout the incident, the children were held along with other adult detainees, one of which is a long-time\u00a0contact of EAPPI, Issa Amro, who confirmed that the children were both blindfolded and handcuffed for extended periods while being detained in the police station.<\/p>\n<p>Ynet reports that the IDF confirmed it had arrested Palestinian schoolchildren on Wednesday morning &#8220;due to recent stone-throwing incidents toward the security forces and citizens in the city.&#8221; The Israeli army added that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/articles\/0,7340,L-4359014,00.html\" target=\"_hplink\">seven children had been taken for police interrogation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Under international law,\u00a0children should be restrained only if they pose an imminent threat to themselves or to others, and all other means have been exhausted.\u00a0 They also are entitled to have a parent, guardian or lawyer present for the interrogations.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also in Hebron that day, according to Reuters,\u00a0dozens of children and adults\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2013\/03\/20\/us-israel-palestinians-obama-protests-idUSBRE92J0TE20130320\" target=\"_hplink\">marched through Hebron&#8217;s Shuhada Street<\/a> to protest the American president&#8217;s visit.
