Rights groups say over 700 Palestinians were arrested in 2016 under Israel’s policy of administrative detention. The measure is considered a grave violation of human rights because the detainees can be held without charge or trial indefinitely. Our correspondent Mohammad Hamayel reports with further details on this story.
