Large forces of security personnel were involved in Sunday evening's accelerated efforts to locate three teenage yeshiva students believed to be abducted by terrorists more than a week ago at the Alon Shevut Junction in Judea. Eighty areas were searched, resulting in the arrest of 37 people and the seizure of arms.
A senior officer said, Monday morning, that the effort over the last 24 hours was concentrated in the northwestern Hevron area. He said there would be a concentrated effort in the southern Etzion and northern Hevron areas in the coming days.
