A wanted Palestinian man is arrested by Israeli troops during a daytime raid in the West Bank city of Nablus, Border Police and the Shin Bet security agency say in a joint statement.

According to police and the Shin Bet, Mujahid al-Talfiti, 25, is suspected of involvement in a shooting attack near the Havat Gilad outpost on Friday. Two other suspects have already been arrested over the attack.

Palestinian media say al-Talfiti was detained after Israeli forces surrounded a building he was in this afternoon.

Al-Talfiti had been formerly jailed in Israel over his affiliation with the Hamas terror group, according to the joint statement.
