Of course it is:

According to statistics gathered from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics and the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO), 93.3 percent of Palestinian children have experienced domestic violence, amounting to 1,950,739 children - 953,950 of whom are girls... According to attorney Irit Rosenblum, founder and chairperson of New Family, the issue affects more than just Palestinian households: "It is a global problem. The world is not paying enough attention to poor society." Data from the New Family report revealed that 2.1 million children under the age of 18 comprise 52.2% of the Palestinian population living in the occupied territories... "The situation is getting worse and worse because people are poor," stated Rosenblum, "and Israel needs to help."

The Palestinians have been nursing impotent anti-Israel rage and hatred for decades. Israeli counter-terrorism efforts, coupled with the defensive fence, have taken away most of their easy scapegoats and targets. And so the impotent rage and hatred turns inwards, both across households in places like Gaza and within households all over Palestinian society. That's what impotent rage and hatred does.

We actually agree that Israel should - if it can - do more to make the day to day lives of Palestinian kids easier. But the conspiracy theories that the Arab world wallows in - with the enthusiastic help of Western academics - sharply limit Israel's options. Easy example: play out what would happen if Israel started actively intervening in Palestinian family life. The din of "this is another Holocaust" would go all the way up to the United Nations - when every Israeli action is read within the context of a vast conspiracy to destroy the Palestinians, genuine good will becomes impossible.

These numbers are probably low-balled. For instance, we doubt that launching rockets from the middle of a school so as to instigate an Israeli retaliation counts as domestic abuse. But it should.
