The Israel Defense Forces arrested nine terror suspects Monday evening in Judea and Samaria. Two of them were arrested in Nur-Shams, northeast of Tulkarm. In Azoun, east of Kalkilye, three wanted men were arrested, and two were taken into custody in Ramallah. A search of one of the suspects' houses turned up a pistol and a number of bullets.
