A Palestinian gunman was killed and an explosives lab was destroyed during an ongoing IDF and Border Police raid in the West Bank city of Tulkarem that began this morning, the military says.
The IDF says combat engineers uncovered explosive devices planted under roads in Tulkarem, and other troops located another explosives lab and seized an assault rifle amid the operation.
Elsewhere in the West Bank, 13 wanted Palestinians were detained overnight, the military says.
Since October 7, the IDF says troops have arrested some 4,000 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,700 affiliated with Hamas.
