RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - The Israeli forces rounded up 30 Palestinians in raids across the West Bank on Sunday, bringing the number of Palestinian detainees in the occupied territory to 3,760 since Oct. 7, a local non-governmental organization said on Monday.

The Palestinian Prisoners Society and the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs said in a joint statement that the arrests were marked by harassment, severe beatings, and threats against detainees and their families, along with acts of sabotage and destruction in the homes of Palestinians.

Tensions have been running high across the West Bank amid an Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.
