An Israeli soldier was moderately wounded by an explosive device during an overnight raid in the West Bank village of Burqa, the Israel Defense Forces says.
The IDF says the reservist soldier was taken to a hospital for further treatment, and troops are scanning the area for suspects.
The military says that since the war in the Gaza Strip began on October 7, troops have arrested more than 860 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including some 514 affiliated with Hamas.
Overnight, 18 Hamas members were arrested, the military says.
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 Palestinian Authority health ministry, around 100 West Bank Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, and in some cases settlers, since October 7.
