The Israel Defense Forces says troops have arrested 280 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including 157 affiliated with Hamas, since fighting began last weekend in southern Israel.
Last night alone 25 Hamas members were arrested by the IDF, among them two senior members detained in Nablus, the military says.
There have been several clashes between IDF forces and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent days, and at least 10 attempted terror attacks, according to the army.
According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, at least 54 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7.
