It was disclosed today that a ring of four Israeli-Arab terrorists was recently discovered, and its members arrested. The four, from Um el-Fahm, had conspired together with Hamas-member relatives from Shechem (one of whom was blown up in a phone booth a number of weeks ago), had conspired to commit attacks and tracking IDF forces along the Green Line.
At least one major attack was prevented this morning. Police caught a resident of the Dehaishe refugee camp near Bethlehem driving with a pipe bomb in his car. He was caught in Abu Ghosh, an Israeli-Arab village west of Jerusalem, and police believe that he planned to place the bomb on a Jerusalem street.
A mortar shell was found this morning in a closet in the Labor and Welfare Ministry in downtown Jerusalem. The shell was apparently one of the six shot out of the car-bomb that exploded in the city the day before Shavuot, two months ago. Police evacuated the building, then safely detonated the shell.
Arab attacks on Israeli targets continued throughout the night. Three anti-tank grenades towards an IDF post near Gadid in Gush Katif… firing on an army post south of Shechem… terrorist gunfire towards a bus on the trans-Shomron highway; the bus was damaged… more firing onto Gilo in Jerusalem… heavy gunfire towards the Jewish homes in Hevron… a mortar shell in Kibbutz Nachal Oz… The soldiers returned fire in some of the incidents.
