Israeli forces arrested 10 wanted Palestinians and seized firearms during overnight operations across the West Bank, the military says.

In Tubas, undercover troops from the IDF’s Duvdevan commando unit arrested three suspects affiliated with a local terror cell. In Balata, near Nablus, troops destroyed a lathe used to manufacture weapons and explosives.

In Tulkarem and nearby Shuweika, soldiers detained three more suspects and confiscated a M-16 rifle, Carlo submachine gun and other military gear. No injuries were reported among the Israeli forces.
