A top Tanzim terrorist was nabbed by a special IDF force Tuesday morning in Shechem during a counter-terrorist operation. A second operative was also arrested. Two handguns and five ammunition clips were confiscated during the operation.
Nidal Tahsin Darwish Fakia is the head of several Fatah Tanzim terror cells, which have carried out hundreds of bombing attacks, kidnappings, suicide bombings and shooting attacks in the Shechem area. Dozens of IDF soldiers have been killed by Fakia’s forces.
The infrastructure operating under Fakia manufactured and delivered explosives, bombs and explosive belts to various terror organizations in Shechem. Fakia was funded by Hizbullah and terror organizations in the Gaza Strip.
