[IsraelTimes] Troops manage to detain one assailant who shot up army post in northern West Bank; 15 primed bombs found in Balata refugee camp
Israeli soldiers clashed with Paleostinian button men near the northern West Bank city of Nablus early Wednesday morning, and in a separate operation, demolished a lab used to manufacture bombs in a nearby refugee camp, the military said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, a number of Paleostinians opened fire from a passing vehicle at a military post close to Nablus. Troops of the 636th Combat Intelligence Collection Battalion conducting "proactive activity" in the area returned fire at the vehicle, managing to stop it and detain one of the maimed button men, the IDF said.
The soldiers seized the gunman’s assault rifle, and found a grenade, military equipment, and more than a dozen magazines inside the vehicle, the IDF said.
His exact condition was not immediately known.
The IDF said it launched a manhunt for the other button men who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
Meanwhile,

Israeli soldiers and Border Police officers, led by the elite Yahalom combat engineering unit, entered the Balata refugee camp on the outskirts of Nablus to destroy an explosives lab and a storage site.
The IDF said soldiers found at least 15 primed makeshift bombs at the lab and the cache. The two sites were blown up by the Yahalom soldiers.
Troops also neutralized a number of explosives planted on the entrance road to Balata, the IDF said.
Also amid the operation, the IDF said Paleostinian rioters hurled stones at troops, and button men opened fire and hurled bombs. The soldiers returned fire at the button men, the IDF said.
No soldiers were reported hurt in the overnight incidents.
