Israel is placing increasing numbers of arrested Palestinian children in solitary confinement, an international children's rights group said in a report issued Monday. The report came just months after Israel's army, under international pressure to introduce reforms, agreed to test alternative treatment for children it detains in the West Bank. In more than one in five cases recorded by Defence for children International in 2013, children detained for questioning by the army reported \"undergoing solitary confinement,\" DCI said in a statement. \"Use of isolation against Palestinian children as an interrogation tool is a growing trend,\" said Ayed Abu Eqtaish of DCI in the Palestinian territories.
