Israeli troops arrested several suspects and confiscated weaponry during counterterror raids in the West Bank, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The army says that during an hours-long operation in the Palestinian town of Qatanna, soldiers interrogated dozens of suspects, two of whom were arrested. A statement from the IDF says that troops also confiscated arms and military gear.
Another suspect was arrested in the town of Bal’a, where the military says troops found dozens of bottles with explosive material and funds designated for terror activities. Raids were also carried out in Nablus and other towns.
No soldiers were injured during the operations.
Since the October 7 atrocities by Hamas, Israeli forces have arrested some 2,600 suspects in the West Bank, including 1,300 alleged Hamas operatives.
