Israeli security forces arrested 18 wanted terror suspects during counterterror raids in Judea and Samaria on Monday night, the Israel Defense Forces said on Tuesday.

Soldiers operating in the Jenin refugee camp discovered tunnel shafts booby-trapped with explosives. Three wanted Palestinians were arrested during the operation, and troops seized illegal weapons.

In Qalqilya, where seven Palestinians were arrested, soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian man who tried to run them over.

In the village of Silwad, near Ramallah, soldiers arrested two wanted men and confiscated thousands of shekels earmarked for terror activity.

An arrest raid in the village of A-Ram lasted nine hours as security personnel interrogated dozens of suspects, seized weapons and other military equipment, taking eight wanted Palestinians into custody.

Israeli forces also confiscated illegal weapons in Hebron and Huwara.

No Israeli casualties were reported during the counter-terror operations.

Since Oct. 7, about 3,100 wanted Palestinians have been arrested throughout Judea and Samaria, of whom more than 1,350 were associated with Hamas.

On Tuesday, Israeli forces thwarted an attempted vehicular assault in Gush Etzion, according to the military.

The driver, a Palestinian, tried to run over civilians at the Gush Etzion Junction, located south of Bethlehem about 10 miles from Jerusalem, the Israel Defense Forces said.

IDF forces neutralized the assailant following a pursuit.

A knife was found during a search of the terrorist's vehicle.

There were no other injuries in the attack.
