The IDF says a suspect allegedly involved in a shooting attack against troops in the West Bank last night has been detained.
According to the IDF, the Palestinian who allegedly opened fire and wounded one soldier at the Geva Binyamin Junction, just north of Jerusalem, is detained in the nearby West Bank town of a-Ram.
The military says the arrest was made following intelligence given to them by the Shin Bet security agency.
Separately, another three wanted Palestinians are detained in other areas of the West Bank this morning, the IDF says.
