According to the groups, the Israeli army has detained 6,115 Palestinians in its raids into the occupied West Bank since October 8.
During the raids, Israeli soldiers also damaged homes and infrastructure as well as stole people’s money and vehicles, according to the statement.
In parallel with the war in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army escalated its incursions into cities, towns and refugee camps in the West Bank.
