RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli courts have extended the detentions of 90 Palestinian prisoners, including several minors, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS) said Thursday.

The PPS said the detentions were reportedly extended on the grounds that the individuals need to go through further interrogations and legal procedures for their cases.

The detention extensions were processed in several different Israeli courts.

Of the 90 prisoners, 32 were processed at the Ofer court, 20 at the Petah Tikva court, 18 at the Salem court, and a combined 20 at the Russian Compound, Al-Jalama and Ashkelon courts.

The PPS said that separate court sessions for the prisoners are expected to be held soon.

The types of charges each of the prisoners are being held under is not yet known. It is clear that the 90 are not being held under administrative detention, an Israeli policy allowing for prisoners to be held without charge or trial, indefinitely.

Since the start of October, there has been a surge in Palestinian detentions, including higher-than-average levels of minors, according to prisoners' rights group Addameer, as a part of Israel's crackdown in an attempt to quell violence during the latest spate of upheaval.

During the first 12 days of November, Israeli forces detained 416 Palestinians, including 122 minors, during the first 12 days of November, the PPS reported earlier this month.

In October alone, just short of 1,000 Palestinians, including 147 children, had been detained by Israeli forces, according to Addameer.

Before the crackdown, there was a weekly average of 78 Israeli army "search and arrest operations" carried out across the occupied West Bank in 2015, according to United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, however there has recently been a sharp increase in such operations.
