An IDF force surrounded a large hall in Ramallah last night, where hundreds of Arabs were celebrating an evening Ramadan feast, and arrested 35 of them. Ramadan is a month of daytime fasting for Moslems, and the break-fast feast was organized by a Hamas organization for 800 relatives of suicide terrorists. Each of them was checked individually over the course of four hours until the Hamas terrorists among them were identified and arrested. Eighteen of those arrested were released shortly afterwards.



An IDF reserve force discovered a five-kilogram bomb north of Tul Karem this morning. It was safely dismantled… Five Arabs from the PA were arrested last night on their way to the Ta'nach communities south of Afula. Not only did they admit to having stolen many Israeli cars in the past, they were also found to be wanted for interrogation on terrorist matters.
