Israel has frequently carried out arbitrary detentions, often targeting individuals without clear evidence or legal justification.
The U.N. reported that Israel arrested over 4,000 Palestinians in the West Bank between October and December last year.
The U.N. Human Rights Office issued a report this summer saying Palestinians detained by Israeli authorities since October last year have faced waterboarding, sleep deprivation, electric shocks, dogs set on them, and other forms of torture and mistreatment.
Human rights groups have condemned these practices as violations of international law.
