It was revealed this morning that yet a new method of murdering Jews has been thought up by Palestinians, but was discovered and thwarted in time by IDF reserve forces last week. On Saturday night, Nov. 16, the troops apprehended two Hamas members at the Tapuach junction in the Shomron as the latter were driving a stolen Israeli car. When the troops signaled them to stop, one soldier discovered that one of the terrorists was wearing an explosives vest. The soldiers also discovered a large quantity of explosives hidden inside two computers. Sappers destroyed the bomb-laced machines in a controlled explosion.
The IDF's Operation Chain Reaction in Bethlehem has so far led to the arrest of eight suicide bombers. One of these was a woman. A total of 36 wanted Arabs have been arrested in PLO-controlled areas south of the capital since the army launched its anti-terror action last Thursday in response to the deadly Jerusalem bus-bombing that killed 11 people. In Gaza last night, Arab attacks included a mortar shell at a southern Gush Katif community and shooting at soldiers in northern Gaza. There were no injuries.
