Israeli forces arrested five Force 17 terrorists last night, including the commander of the Sinjil area near Shilo. A Palestinian citizen was also arrested. They are suspected of carrying out many terrorist and shooting attacks against Israelis. Last night\'s raid included also the capture of many weapons and much ammunition. The terrorists were arrested while in Palestinian-controlled territory. Arutz-7 correspondent Haggai Huberman reports that the Force 17 commander who was arrested was \"heavily wanted,\" and was responsible for the murder of more than one Jew. Muhammad Dahlan says that the PA will avenge their arrest if they are not released.
