STORYLINE:
The Israeli army carried out its broadest operation in months in the West Bank city of Nablus on Thursday.
Troops on jeeps raided the city just before midnight, closing off the Old City and searching for fugitives, the army said.
In the searches, troops found a belt with 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of explosives.
It was blown up in a controlled explosion, bringing down the house in which it was found.
Israel has long labelled Nablus a "hornet's nest" of militant activity.
Many Palestinian suicide bombers have originated in the city, and fighting between troops and militants has been especially fierce during more than three years of violence.
