Overnight, Israeli security forces arrested a wanted Palestinian from a hospital in the southern West Bank city of Halhul, who had been wounded in an attempted car bombing attack last month.

Members of police’s elite Yamam unit and Shin Bet agents raided the hospital near Hebron overnight in a joint operation with the IDF.

The Shin Bet says that the detained suspect was involved in a car bomb that detonated in Halhul on August 13, in which he was also injured. He was taken to the hospital in the city where he was detained.
