Israeli forces arrested 42 wanted Palestinian terrorists during the course of the night in raids on a number of Arab villages in the Hevron-Bethlehem region. Seven were caught in Tzurif (a hostile village that produced the murderers of the famous \"Lamed-Heh\" 35 Israelis in the 1940\'s), nine in Husan, five in El Hader, near Efrat, and five in Yata.
Hevron has been the scene of much Arab violence over the past 24 hours, directed both against Israelis and other Arabs. There was shooting from Haret a-Sheikh at Admot Yeshai; no one was hurt, and IDF soldiers returned fire. Three bodies of Palestinians, with bullet holes in their heads, were found this morning on a main street in Hevron. Their hands and legs were tied and they were then shot and killed on suspicion of having cooperated with Israel. Video coverage of mobs of Arabs surrounding and kicking the bodies were shown on international television today.
