IDF soldiers operating for the sixth straight day in the Ein Beit Ilma neighborhood of the biblical city of Shechem arrested one of Hamas' senior local officers Sunday. Ahmed a-Ez, 36, had been hiding in a hole which had been dug under a bed in a residential home.
IDF who combed the home encountered a pregnant woman sitting on a bed. When asked to move she refused, claiming that she felt ill and that there was nothing to see under the bed. The soldiers made her get up and discovered a-Ez in the underground hole.
He was arrested and taken to SHABAK (General Security Service) interrogation.
