Following an explosive device attack against an army vehicle near the Palestinian West Bank city of Tulkarem yesterday, the IDF detained dozens of men in the city.

The attack, claimed by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, took place near the Nitzanei Oz Crossing at the West Bank border. Two soldiers inside a Panther armored personnel carrier that was targeted were lightly injured.

The IDF confirms that troops detained and questioned numerous suspects in Tulkarem yesterday following the attack, but declines to say how many are currently in custody.
