Israeli forces arrested more than 70 wanted suspects and questioned hundreds during overnight counterterror operations across Judea and Samaria, the IDF said. In Tell, home of the terrorist behind Friday's deadly shooting, Nahal reconnaissance troops detained 11 suspects and questioned about 80 people. Forces searched more than 300 locations in Menashe and detained Hamas-linked suspects and operatives advancing explosive attacks; Duvdevan troops in Tulkarem arrested a terrorist planning an imminent attack. Additional raids detained about 20 suspects in Binyamin, 15 in Ephraim and 16 in Etzion and Judea, while troops seized a hunting rifle.
