The IDF says troops nabbed a wanted Palestinian Islamic Jihad member in the West Bank city of Jenin this morning.

Mahdi Fayyad is accused of shooting and hurling explosives at Israeli forces.

Another two wanted Palestinians were arrested in Jenin, and an assault rifle was seized, the IDF says.

In the village of Urif, close to Nablus, the IDF says troops also seized four lathes used to manufacture weapons.

Another seven wanted Palestinians were detained in other areas of the West Bank, the IDF adds.
