Israeli forces detained 10 Palestinians from different parts of the occupied West Bank in the early hours of Tuesday.
The Israeli army, on Twitter, said the 10 Palestinians were "wanted" and are currently being interrogated.
The army, however, did not state where the detentions took place or what are the charges the detainees face.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society, meanwhile, confirmed that three Palestinians were detained in Jenin refugee camp in northern West Bank and two others in Jericho in the east.
Israeli forces stage daily raids into the occupied West Bank.
They have detained hundreds of Palestinians since the disappearance and subsequent killing of three Jewish settlers in mid-June.
Several Hamas lawmakers, former ministers and dozens of detainees -who had been released as part of a 2011 prisoner swap between Hamas and Israel – have since been detained.
The number of Palestinians currently detained by Israel has recently risen to a whopping 7000, according to the Palestinian Ministry for Prisoners Affairs.
