The Israeli government escalated its arrest campaign after the US president's declaration on Jerusalem at the end of 2017 and arrested around 2,700 Palestinians including 600 minors, the commission added.
It also noted that there are no red lines for the Israeli government in dealing with the detainees, where all of them were attacked and tortured.
