The IDF says troops of the Kfir Brigade operating in the West Bank city of Tulkarem located a bomb-making lab.
The lab was being used to build makeshift roadside explosive devices as well as pipe bombs, according to the military.
In a separate operation, the IDF says troops of the Commando Brigade and Nahal Brigade and Shin Bet agents detained 12 wanted Palestinians in the towns of Qabatiya and Tammun.
A further 15 wanted Palestinians were detained elsewhere in the West Bank overnight, the IDF adds.
