The Israel Defense Forces says troops detained 37 wanted Palestinians, including 10 Hamas members, during overnight raids across the West Bank.
During a raid in the West Bank town of Birzeit, the IDF says troops seized Hamas paraphernalia in a storage unit near the local university, which was used by the Hamas student faction for parades.
