The IDF continued its offensive activity last night around PA-controlled Jenin, in northern Shomron, where many of Arafat\'s suicide terrorists have made their base. The army destroyed the PLO army\'s compound in Jenin, killing 11 terrorist fighters and wounding 30 or more in the process. No Israelis were hurt. The security forces also arrested two Islamic Jihad heads in a Jenin-area village last night; the army said they were responsible for many attacks on Israelis.
