It was revealed this morning that yet a new Palestinian method of murdering Jews 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 in a taxi. As the car was about to pass the checkpoint, a guard discovered that one of the passengers appeared to be drugged. He and his colleagues signaled the car to stop, instructed the passengers to get out, and began checking papers. When they discovered that one of the Arabs was wanted, the search became more intensive, and they soon discovered a large quantity of explosives hidden inside two computers in the car. Sappers destroyed the bomb-laced machines in a controlled explosion. It is assumed that the bombers were headed for Jerusalem, and were using the computers merely as a hiding place for the explosives.
The same reserve force also thwarted two other attacks this month. The first occurred three weeks ago when soldiers at the same Tapuach junction found an 8-kilogram explosives belt hidden among boxes of merchandise. The force received a certificate of honor from the Yesha Division Commander for their actions. Last Thursday, soldiers from the same battalion caught two Hamas terrorists driving with two Kalachnikov rifles south of Shechem.
The IDF arrested this morning leading Hamas figure Firas Fidi, who was responsible for today's attempted computer-bomb attack. Another terrorist dispatcher - Muhammad Zayad Kilani, of Hamas - was also arrested today, for having organized a carbomb that exploded without casualties near Kibbutz Metzer earlier this month.
The IDF's Operation Chain Reaction in Bethlehem has so far led to the arrest of eight suicide bombers, including 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.
An IDF force - troops and armor - entered southern Khan Yunis in Gaza early this morning, where it demolished the home of a terrorist and arrested three terrorist suspects. Arabs fired a mortar shell at a southern Gush Katif community last night, and other enemy gunmen shot at soldiers in northern Gaza. There were no injuries.
