IDF forces have arrested the murderer of five Jews in the Southern Hevron Hills area. Among his victims were the parents of nine orphans, Rabbi Yosef and Chana Dickstein. Naji Taleb was arrested last night in the hostile village of Yata, near Hevron. On July 26th, Taleb murdered Sgt. Elazar Leibowitz, 21, of Hevron, who was driving north, and then turned his attention to a van driving south carrying most of the Dickstein family. He shot several times into the vehicle, killing Mrs. Dickstein and her nine-year-old son Shuvael, then shot the weeping Rabbi Dickstein who had gotten out of the car to plead for his family's lives. Just last week, Taleb acted again, murdering Modiin resident Oded Volk, 51, in the same area.
Tzvi Yehuda Dickstein, 21, the oldest son and brother of the remaining orphans, told Arutz-7 this morning that the murderer's arrest is not much comfort: "I don't expect the State to mete out the appropriate punishment..." He said, however, that he does see the arrest of his parents' murderer as "the closing of a circle."
The GSS and Judea and Samaria police have uncovered a cell of four Hamas terrorists who received their instructions from a Hamas terrorist currently imprisoned in Ashkelon. They are suspected of planning to kidnap soldiers and hold them hostage for the release of Palestinian terrorists. Ten other terrorists were also arrested over the night, most of them south of Shechem.
Arab sources in the PA say that IDF forces operated this morning in Jenin and its neighboring slum section in which Jordan relocated Arabs who left Israel in 1948. The army removed the curfew in several cities for a few hours today, but in Jenin it was forced to reinstate it after less than an hour.
