The Israel Defense Forces says 13 Palestinians suspected of terror activity have been arrested overnight across the West Bank.

In the towns of Burqa and Kafr Qallil, troops confiscated four vehicles and seized two firearms, the military says. Dozens of Palestinians hurled stones at soldiers, and gunfire was heard in the area, the IDF says. No troops were hurt.

Among the detainees are two Hamas members from Hebron, the army adds.
