The families of two Palestinian children detained in Israeli occupation jails appealed to UNICEF to intervene and demand their release in order to join their schools . Human rights sources said that the Israeli military court in Salem adjourned the court hearings of the two children Ibrahim and Yazid Abul Rub from Jalbon village, Jenin province, till 5th November for the fifth time running . Ibrahim’s father appealed to UNICEF to pressure the Israeli government in order to release his son who suffers from behavioral disturbances while the father of Yazid held the Israeli occupation authorities responsible for the life of his son who was shot in his thigh on his arrest . Both fathers urged UNICEF and the Red Cross RC to intervene for the sake of their sons so that they could join their schools, noting that they were detained last April and deprived of schooling for months. Statistics indicate that more than 200 Palestinian children are held in Israeli occupation jails .
