Original Note:
Israel does not, by law, send children under the age of 12 to prison, and at the age of 12, only for murder. They can, however, be detained until parents pick them up. Here is a case in which a 6-year old and his brother were held by police for throwing stones at a bus. https://www.timesofisrael.com/police-arrest-6-year-old-palestinian-boy-for-throwing-stones/ https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/new-israeli-law-allows-children-young-12-be-jailed
