The Israel Defense Forces says troops have arrested 330 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including 190 affiliated with Hamas, since fighting began last Saturday in southern Israel.
Last night alone 33 Hamas members were arrested, the military says.
There have been several clashes between IDF forces and Palestinians in the West Bank in recent days, and several attempted terror attacks, according to the army.
According to the Palestinian Authority health ministry, at least 55 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7.
