| [IsraelTimes] The IDF says it conducted a large-scale raid in the West Bank city of Qalqiliya in the past day, searching hundreds of buildings and detaining several terror suspects. The operation was carried out by three IDF brigades, along with Border Police and Israel Police forces, the army says. The IDF says the troops seized an assault rifle, weapon parts, and ammunition, and detained “weapons dealers, terrorists, and suspects involved in the preparation of explosives.” During the operation, the soldiers also opened fire on a Palestinian suspect who “posed a threat to the force and threw a suspicious object at them,” the army adds. Palestinian media reported that a 12-year-old was seriously wounded by IDF gunfire in the area. The raid came hours after an Israeli civilian entered Qalqiliya on foot and was extracted by Israeli authorities.
