All 24 edge facelets can be swapped by doing a half-twist to all three middle slices as shown (press Play). While this configuration will not occur while solving a random cube the operation can still be used to reduce the number of misplaced facelets as shown on the next cube.
Whenever there are more than six misplaced facelets on three adjacent faces do a half-twist to all three middle slices to swap all the edges as shown. In this case the eight misplaced facelets are reduced to four (12 - 8 = 4).
