The IDF entered PLO-controlled Jenin last night in search of wanted terrorists. The troops have so far arrested six Arabs, including the newest local Hamas commander and one would-be suicide attacker. No injuries have been reported to IDF forces, although they were greeted with Arab gunfire. During ongoing operations in Beit Jala, Bethlehem, and Kalkilye, IDF forces also arrested eight other Arabs suspected of terrorist activity last night. The forces that entered Hevron and Tul Karem last night have already left.
In other after-effects of last night\'s attack, US officials reported that CIA director George Tenet would be postponing his upcoming visit to the region. Tenet was originally scheduled to arrive later this week in order to work with Arab officials to establish a unified PA security force.
Gunmen in Gaza opened fire this morning on an IDF patrol in the area of the greenhouses of Morag, in Gush Katif. There were no injuries, and soldiers returned fire.
