The Palestinian Authority health ministry says three Palestinians were killed in overnight clashes with IDF troops, in Askar, Bayt Rima, and Tammun.
There have been numerous clashes between IDF forces and Palestinians in the West Bank in the past two weeks, and several attempted terror attacks, according to the army.
According to the PA health ministry, 118 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, and in some cases settlers, since October 7.
The Israel Defense Forces says troops detained 23 wanted Palestinians, including four affiliated with the Hamas terror group, in overnight arrest raids across the West Bank.
The IDF says that since the war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7, troops have arrested more than 1,030 wanted Palestinians in the West Bank, including some 700 affiliated with Hamas.
Also overnight, the IDF says troops demolished the home of Hassan Qatnani, one of the Hamas terrorists who carried out the deadly shooting attack on the Dee family in April, in the West Bank’s Askar refugee camp, adjacent to Nablus.
The IDF says it also clashed with Palestinian gunmen and rioters in Jenin.
