IDF soldiers were attacked at the home of one of the men responsible for killing the Yaniv brothers in Huwara.
Iyad Tahruri, 24, and Zaev Mazhar, 21, were captured in Nablus, along with an M-16 rifle and ammunition.
Hamas member Abdel Fattah Hussein Kharousha shot Hallel and Yagel Yaniv in Huwara on Feb. 26.
The would-be terrorist wrote a letter to his parents promising them large sums due to his planned terrorist activities, according to police.
“This is the reality of our daily lives here in Samaria,” said her husband, Elazar Riger.
The Palestinian terrorist was shot dead at the scene.
The infrastructure work is aimed at increasing safety in the terror stronghold outside Nablus until a bypass road is completed.
Two Palestinian gunmen were killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli troops during the counterterrorism operation.
The Samaria residents stand accused of assaulting Palestinians with an ax and stones.
IDF soldiers arrived but failed to bring the rioters under control. Instead, police targeted Jewish locals who came to help.
Palestinians have perpetrated three terrorist attacks in the Samarian village in a month.
Calls grow louder for government to do more to protect civilians driving through the Palestinian village.
