IDF troops arrest terror suspects, seize weapons in overnight raid
Israeli security forces conducted several operations in Palestinian towns overnight Monday, arresting at least ten terror suspects and seizing weapons, ammunition, money, and vehicles that were all suspected to have been used or had been allocated to be used for terror purposes.
After conducting two waves of arrests over the past several days, troops raided the house that had sheltered the shooter, Mohammed al-Fakih, after the terror attack that killed Rabbi Michael Mark and arrested a relative of his for aiding him. Additionally, IDF and police forces seized a car that was purchased by the terrorist with the alleged intention of using it for another attack.
IDF troops in Hizme confiscated funds that it claims were meant to be used by the Hamas terror organization. The troops also arrested the individual who had the money in his possession.
Security forces using police intelligence discovered a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition in the village of Urqub Jamla and arrested the individual hiding them. They also seized two vehicles in the nearby village of Sa’ir that were used to carry out terror attacks as well.
Seven terror suspects were arrested overnight in other routine IDF activity throughout the West Bank. Three of them are members of Hamas, while the rest are suspected of participating in violent riots directed at Israeli civilians and security forces. They were taken for questioning.
