A Palestinian planning an imminent shooting attack was apprehended by Israeli commandos in the West Bank earlier today, following a week-long manhunt, the military announces.

The IDF says troops of the Duvdevan Commando Unit raided the town of Beitunia and captured Ismail Ankaio, along with a second wanted man.

“Ankaio was planning to carry out a shooting attack imminently and was arrested following a weeklong manhunt for him,” the army says.
