Army forces also operated in Ramallah througout the night, and are continuing to do so this morning as well. The sounds of gunfire and explosions can be heard nearby. For the first time in many months, Arabs fired last night at Psagot, a Jewish community adjacent to Ramallah/El Bireh. No one was hurt.
IDF Egoz unit troops took action east of Tul Karem, where they arrested two wanted terrorists and three other Arabs wanted for questioning. The forces found weapons and ready-to-detonate explosives during the course of the arrests. Eight other terrorist suspects were also arrested during the night in Yesha, including a long-wanted leader of Fatah's military wing.
In Gaza, too, Israeli forces took action, but two troops were lightly wounded when Arabs threw small bombs at the soldiers from a passing car. The Israelis, covered by combat helicopters, attacked three targets in Gaza.
