How to quickly place (Place) a large number of icons in one Illustrator file?

Question

Icons

I ran into a problem - when I download a pack with icons (svg), then each of the 150 icons is a separate svg file.
Now, to make all the icons in one file, you have to insert all 150 icons with the Place tool (respectively, click 150 times!) Into the Illustrator file and then align them again, which is tedious and time-consuming.
Is there any solution to speed up this process? That is, is it possible to somehow quickly insert 150 svg icons into an .ai file at once?
