The IDF carried out a successful raid on a bomb factory in Shechem this morning, killing four of Hamas\' most senior leaders in the Shomron. They include Shechem\'s Hamas leader Yusuf Suraji and those who prepared the Sbarro and Dolphinarium explosives, as well as other attacks. The army forces took over the five-story explosives laboratory, killing the four and arresting nine other terrorists in the process. The IDF spokesman said that the dead and captured Arabs had planned attacks in the immediate future. Four Israeli soldiers were lightly wounded.
Stocking-clad Arabs reacted angrily to the news of the death of arch-terrorist Suraji, and a Hamas spokesman said that the organization will \"not be committed to the ceasefire after this massacre.\"
Arutz-7 correspondent Haggai Huberman noted that the entry of armed forces into PA-controlled areas in the framework of the Oslo War is now more commonplace than it was several months ago: \"In the past, entry to Area A required a cabinet decision, while now it is a decision made at the local military levels. Even the Palestinian public is apathetic to IDF entry to Area A; the reactions there to yesterday\'s conquest were low-key...\"
Seven other Palestinian terrorists were arrested this morning in Hizme, near Jerusalem. They are suspected of attacking Israeli cars on the Hizme-Adam road (in southern Binyamin) and the Hizme-Anatot road (towards the Jordan Valley).
