The IDF Thursday night and early Friday morning arrested 11 men in its nightly counterterrorist operations throughout Judea and Samaria. Four men were arrested north of Ramallah and seven near Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem.

The army arrests approximately 120 terrorists every week but in the past several months has concentrated mainly on those who do not belong to groups aligned with the ruling Fatah party, headed by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
