The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested approximately 70 Palestinians in the West Bank at dawn Monday.
At least 35 Palestinians were rounded up in Occupied Jerusalem while eight others were kidnapped in Nablus.
Eight Palestinians were also arrested in Hebron, including a young woman, while six youths were rounded up in Jenin.
Three more detainees were reported in Ramallah, including Palestinian ex-prisoner Ahed Tamimi.
The IOF also arrested two youths in Salfit, three in Tulkarem, and one young man in Bethlehem.
Since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, the IOF has escalated its arrest campaigns in the West Bank and Jerusalem, kidnapping 2,150 Palestinians, including children, women, and the elderly.
The data does not include the detention of citizens from Gaza and workers in 1948 occupied Palestine.
Since the start of the year, 6,500 Palestinians have been arrested in Israeli almost-daily raids in the West Bank towns and cities.
These arrests amount to a blatant infringement on people’s fundamental rights, including their freedom and sense of security, as well as their right to be free from torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. The Israeli arrests also violate the right to personal freedom and the right to a fair trial, as detainees are held without legal evidence and valid judicial warrants.
