The Israel Defense Forces says troops detained 17 wanted Palestinians during overnight arrest raids across the West Bank, including six in the Dheisheh refugee camp near Bethlehem.
The IDF says that during the operation in Dheisheh, Palestinians hurled explosives, Molotov cocktails and stones at troops, who responded with riot dispersal means and live fire in the air.
One soldier is lightly hurt after being hit by a rock, the IDF says. He was taken to a hospital for further treatment.
The 17 suspects are handed over to the Shin Bet for further questioning.
