The Israeli forces rounded up 20 Palestinian women over the past month of November, the human rights center "Palestine Captives" reported on Saturday.
In a press release, the center said that most of those detained were released later on but three were still held in custody, PIC reported.
It noted that an ex-detainee was summoned for interrogation, and described the targeting of Palestinian women as a fresh "escalation" against Palestinian women.
The center noted that the wife and sister of a detainee were arrested during a prison visit while eight were captured in the Aqsa Mosque. It added that a number of others were arrested on the alleged attempt to stab or run over soldiers.
The center appealed to all institutions concerned with women rights to pressure the Israeli regime to stop persecuting Palestinian women.
