Security officials in the community of Har Adar, just northwest of Jerusalem, thwarted an infiltration attempt by four Palestinian terrorists this morning. The Moslems had just managed to cut through the community’s security fence when they were spotted. Arutz-7’s Kobi Finkler reports that one of the Arabs was captured, while the others succeeded in fleeing.



Troops discovered an explosives belt in an Arab village near Tul Karem last night, along with several Kalachnikov assault rifles with bullet cartridges. The soldiers destroyed the bomb in a controlled explosion. At least 30 Arabs wanted for terror activity were arrested throughout Yesha (Judea Samaria, and Gaza). One of them is a top Hamas leader responsible for attacks in the Ramallah district.



Arab attacks since yesterday included several stone-throwing attacks as well as firebombs at vehicles traveling near Beitar in Gush Etzion. No one was hurt in these incidents, and soldiers opened fire at the attackers in the latter. Three mortar shells were launched at a Jewish community in central Gaza this morning, and three more later in the morning. No one was hurt. There were exchanges of fire in Jenin with soldiers; the Arabs report one dead.
