Capt. Har'el Marmelstein of Mevaseret Zion was killed this morning while commanding a naval commando unit in search of a highly wanted Hamas terrorist. Arabs opened fire on the troops from within a cave, and the soldiers returned fire and killed one of the attackers. The incident occurred east of Tul Karem.
A second Palestinian terrorist was killed today near the northern Gaza community of Elei Sinai. A Kalachnikov assault rifle was found on his body. An additional terrorist fled the scene, and soldiers began a manhunt. It is believed that the two were on their way to attempt to infiltrate Elei Sinai and murder Jews there. It will be one year next week since Corp. Liron Harpaz, 19, and Assaf Yitzchaki, 20, were murdered in an attack of that nature in Elei Sinai.
Israeli forces arrested 15 wanted Arab terrorists throughout Yesha (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) last night. Among the 15 were Nidal Anaya, the Kalkilye branch leader of the Al-Aksa Brigade terrorist organization, accused of dispatching suicide bombers and gunmen to attack Israeli civilians and soldiers.
