IDF and Border Guard forces raided a number of Arab villages in Area B - under Israeli military control - this past night. The IDF spokesman said that six terrorists were arrested in Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem, and in two other villages near Shechem and Bethlehem.
Last night, the IDF captured a wanted terrorist taking advantage of the relatively free passage granted to PA ambulances. He was disguised as a doctor, but alert soldiers at a roadblock near Brachah, just southwest of Shechem, detected and arrested him. The IDF Spokesman announced afterwards, \"Claims are often raised against holding up ambulances at checkpoints for security checks. Cases such as this prove the evident need for these checks. In addition, IDF soldiers are direct to ensure that in humanitarian cases and medical emergencies, the ambulances must be allowed to pass as fast as possible.\"
