Israel\'s anti-terror offensive in Ramallah, which was to have taken place last week, has netted 52 terrorist suspects, including nine last night and one or two about to commit suicide attacks in Israeli cities. Soldiers also discovered two cars laden with powerful explosives, together with Israeli identification cards and official Palestinian Authority documents. Army bulldozers have blocked the main entrance to the former Military Administration building in Ramallah, now used by the PA, and cars are unable to enter or leave the compound. Israel Police sent a contingent into the city yesterday, and located 15 stolen Israeli cars.



IDF troops continue to operate in other areas throughout Yesha (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza). The army has imposed a curfew on the PLO-controlled city of Tul Karem, east of Netanya, and surrounding villages, where troops are searching the area in light of intelligence warnings of planned imminent suicide attacks.
