The Israel Defense Forces says troops have arrested 360 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including 210 affiliated with Hamas, since the war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7.
Last night alone, 20 Hamas members were arrested, the military says.
The IDF says troops also seized weapons and military equipment from one of the detainees in the village of Kafr Qallil overnight.
There have been several clashes between IDF forces and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent days, and several attempted terror attacks, according to the army.
According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, at least 58 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7.
