The army’s pilot program, it seems, never took off, and hundreds are still being arrested with no warning, usually in the middle of the night

Six years after the Israeli military said it would experiment with summoning Palestinian minors suspected of crimes for questioning instead of arresting them, hundreds are still being arrested with no warning, usually in the middle of the night.

The pilot project apparently never really took off, and the army hasn’t even collected orderly statistics about it. Moreover, according to sources who were told that it had begun, the criteria by which it would be judged a success or a failure were never published, and no numerical targets were ever set.
