In overnight raids, IDF, Border Guard and Police combined forces to arrest 19 wanted Arab terrorists. Seven of the wanted individuals are suspected of terrorist activities and violence against civilians and security forces. The entire “wanted” group was transported for interrogation by security forces.

Late Monday night, a joint raid of the Menashe Regional Brigade forces and the Saar battalion to locate illegal weapons in the Arab city of Shechem in Samaria yielded a lathe, 6 M-16 rifles, 7 handguns, silencers, sniper’s rifles and sights, hand grenades, cartridges and ammunition, commando knives, and bulletproof vests.
