The IDF has not ended its operations in the Arab village of Dura, home to the terrorists who carried out the Friday night murders of four yeshiva students in nearby Otniel. After demolishing the homes of the two murderers the night before last and making some arrests in the village, the forces apprehended another four wanted terrorists early this morning. Three of them are members of Islamic Jihad, the organization that took responsibility for the near-massacre. The last act of one of the victims, Noam Apter, was to lock the door separating the kitchen, into which the terrorists had burst, from the dining room, where 70 students were eating their Sabbath meal. None of the latter were scratched.



In addition, IDF forces arrested three Arab women in Bethlehem this morning. The three are suspected of terrorist activity, and were taken to the GSS for questioning.
