Israeli Border Police officers captured 13 Arab fugitives late Tuesday and into the wee hours of Wednesday morning in various Palestinian Authority-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria.
Ten of the suspects were arrested in connection with terrorist activities, including violent attacks on Israeli civilians and security personnel.
All of the suspects were transferred to security personnel for interrogation.
Israel Police, meanwhile, recovered an automatic submachine gun during a sting operation Wednesday in Lod. The forces discovered an improvised Carlo Gustav submachine gun during their search of a property. They also uncovered and confiscated 6,000 Ecstasy tabs.
The seizure came just hours after security personnel had discovered an M-16 assault rifle and two pistols while searching another compound in the same city.
