Twenty-one Palestinians were detained early on Tuesday during an IDF operation in the West Bank. The suspects were linked to attacks on civilians and security forces, which included the throwing of rocks and firebombs, in the eastern Gush Etzion region. At least one of the men detained in the round up is a member of Hamas; two other men were arrested in Nablus on related charges. The 21 suspects were taken for interrogation at a Shin Bet facility.
