If arrest, abuse and murder of Palestinian children wasn't enough, Israel is now caught out using them to gather intelligence.
Prominent Israeli lawyer Gaby Lasky, who specialises in cases of Palestinian children before Israel's military court, said as part of this intelligence gathering the Israeli army had begun "mapping" children.
This involved waking children at night, photographing them, checking their identity papers and asking which beds they sleep in.
Ms Lasky says security forces frequently begin interrogations by asking about claims of stone throwing then dig more broadly for intelligence.
The claim has come during a joint investigation between the ABC's Four Corners and The Australian newspaper, to be broadcast tonight.
When they are arrested they are being questioned about the motivations of those who sent them, about the plans of those who sent them, about the general activities of those who sent them, in order to prevent other such activities

The investigation has obtained pictures of Israeli soldiers mapping children.
Mr Amsha said: "The most vicious and the most horrible thing (is) to push people to collaborate as collaborators with occupiers, to put them under the stick and carrot process.
"If you reject this, if you are (to) refuse this, you will be punished, you will stay longer in prison and if you accept being a collaborator... you will receive some kind of rewards and you will be dealt with differently and you will be happy.
"So this kind of converting a child who's not responsible for his act to be a collaborator is not just helping in information gathering for the Israelis it's breaking this child forever."

These crimes will only stop when the zionist occupation is brought to an end.
