Two more Shechem terrorists were arrested by the IDF Thursday night in what has turned into a campaign to weed out terrorists in the city. More than a dozen others have been arrested in nightly counterterrorist operations this week.
Israel earlier this year authorized American-trained and armed Palestinian Authority special forces to patrol in Shechem, which is considered one of the terrorist capitals in Israel. Hamas has accused the PA of cooperating with Israel to rid the city of its terrorist infrastructure while the PA has won praise from the US for maintaining law and order in the city.
