The Israeli army arrested 1,228 Palestinians, including 165 children and 11 women during April.
A number of Palestinian institutions made this known in a joint statement on Monday.
The Commission of Detainees' and Ex-Detainees' Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners' Club, the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, and the Wadi Hilweh Information Centre reported that the Israeli authorities launched a massive arrest campaign leading to the highest rate of arrests since the beginning of this year.
The organisations added that Israel has issued 154 administrative detention orders with neither charge nor trial, including 68 new orders.
The joint statement reads; "The arrests were accompanied by grave violations against the detainees and their families, including violations after their transfer to investigation and detention centres."
"They also recorded various levels of injuries among the detainees, including severe injuries suffered by the detainees as a result of being shot by the Israeli army."
Furthermore, Israel also destroyed the homes of prisoners' families.
