(Updated Thursday 9 AM) Israelis troops operating in Israel’s southern Mediterranean coastal area last night arrested a top Fatah terrorist with Israeli “blood on his hands.” The Arab arrested, Nizar Dializ, was responsible for the February 18 shooting deaths of three Israelis at the Kissufim junction.
Also last night, Arabs fired mortar shells at troops operating near the Jewish communities of Gush Katif, wounding three. The soldiers were taken the hospital with light shrapnel wounds.
The IDF is operating in the Jenin area this morning, in an effort to wipe out PLO terrorism. Last night two soldiers, searching for terrorists in the village of Tubas, were wounded in an exchange of gunfire with local Arabs. They were transported to area hospitals with light injuries.
The IDF withdrew from PLO-controlled Ramallah last night. During the operation, which lasted for over three days, soldiers took about 80 Arab suspects into custody, destroyed a Force 17 bomb-making factory, and thwarted several suicide attacks. Troops remain in strategic positions around the city and are enforcing a tight closure.
