Israeli troops operated extensively throughout the West Bank in the predawn hours of Wednesday morning, arresting 12 wanted Palestinians, the military said.
The Israel Defense Forces launched major arrest operations after a series of Palestinian attacks that killed 19 people earlier this year. Another Israeli woman was killed in a suspected attack last month, and another four soldiers have been killed in the West Bank in attacks and during the arrest operations.
Footage circulated online showed Palestinians hurling stones, cinderblocks, and other heavy objects at a convoy of Israeli military vehicles in the town of al-Bireh near Ramallah.
The IDF did not confirm if any arrests were made in the Palestinian city.
In the village of Abu Dis on the outskirts of Jerusalem, the IDF said troops detained four Palestinians over suspected involvement in terror activities, and another suspect in the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem.
