The IDF and Border Police say they have wrapped up a 20-hour operation in the West Bank city of Tulkarem.
Amid the operation, troops killed a gunman, detained six wanted Palestinians, seized weaponry and demolished three bomb-making labs, the military says.
Combat engineers also ripped up roads where explosive devices were planted, the IDF adds.
Since October 7, the IDF says, troops have arrested some 4,000 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,700 affiliated with Hamas.
