The army arrested 26-year-old terrorist Kamil Ibrahim abu-Darash in the Balata section of the Palestinian Authority Samarian city of Shechem late Monday night. Abu-Darash is a member of the Tanzim faction of PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement.

He is suspected of direct involvement in terrorist attacks and delivering explosive devices to other terrorists in the area, as well as in the Israeli heartland. He was arrested in the same operation in which soldiers killed Fatah terrorist Muhamad Dara, who did not respond to their orders to stop.
