The IDF continued its offensives against PA targets and terrorist infrastructures throughout the Palestinian Authority last night and this morning. Air Force helicopters fired missiles at buildings in Jenin, Khan Yunis, Shechem, Ramallah - including PLO military intelligence headquarters in Arafat\'s compound - and Gaza. Some 20 Arabs, most of them members of the PLO uniformed forces, were reported killed.
IDF infantry, armor and special engineering forces raided and blew up a Voice of Palestine broadcast facility in Gaza. Arabs fired at the units; several armed enemy fighters were hit in the ensuing exchange. The same happened when IDF forces conducted wide-scale searches in the Rafiah area to uncover tunnels used for the smuggling of weapons and ammunition.
In other venues, ground forces entered Rafiach near the Egyptian border and razed the home of the terrorist who killed three Israelis in the Kisufim attack this week. A gun battle ensued and five Arabs were killed. Other forces operated in Sa-Nur, south of Ramallah, Abu Dis, and elsewhere. The troops made many arrests; there were no casualties among IDF soldiers.
