Following the arrest of Fatah head Marwan Barghouti yesterday, the IDF apprehended a PFLP terrorist sniper last night who had been wanted for murder. In the framework of ongoing Operation Defensive Shield, the IDF forces caught him in the village of Bitin, just southeast of Beit El and north of Ramallah. He is responsible for the murder of reserve soldier Yaakov Krenchel outside a Shomron village a year ago. Earlier, a Hamas commander in Ramallah was caught in Bitunya, just to the west of the city.
