The Israel Defense Forces says troops detained four wanted Palestinians and seized several weapons during overnight arrest raids across the West Bank.
The four have been delivered to the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning.
The IDF says two M16 rifles and other military equipment were seized in several central West Bank villages, and in the Qalandiya refugee camp on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
The arrests come amid an ongoing IDF anti-terror offensive in the West Bank following a series of Palestinian attacks earlier this year.
The IDF adds that during overnight operations Palestinians hurled stones at troops near the central West Bank village of ‘Arura.
“Forces responded with riot dispersal means,” the military says.
No soldiers are hurt in the incidents.
