IDF troops operating in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp located a UNRWA daycare center that was booby-trapped by local terror operatives.
The IDF says it has wrapped up a 40-hour-long raid in the camp near Tulkarem, during which troops questioned hundreds of suspects and arrested 11 of them.
It says troops also seized many weapons and destroyed hundreds of explosive devices, including those planted in the UNRWA building.
Two soldiers were wounded, one lightly and one moderately, during the raid as a result of an explosive device hurled at them.
In another raid today, in the northern West Bank town of Sir, close to Jenin, a soldier was seriously wounded by an explosive device, the IDF adds.
