(13:40) IDF nabs 30 suspects, bomb equipment in raid (or Arafat real intentions - if not prevented)

IDF forces arrested some 30 Palestinians in a raid on the village of Anabta near Tulkarm early this morning.

Eight of the Palestinians are wanted for security offences.

Explosive belts used in suicide bombings, explosives and a bomb-making workshop were discovered in the combined special forces operation.

Four Palestinian Authority policemen opened fire on the soldiers during the sweep.

They shot at the troops out of two vehicles.

Soldiers returned fire, killing them.

Two Palestinians were wounded.

No soldiers were hurt.

OC Judea and Samaria Brig.-Gen. Gershon Yitzhak said the Palestinian Authority was not making a serious effort to thwart terrorists.

He said the PA's arrests of suspects were "for show," and only brought in "small fish," adding that the detainees were being held under "five-star conditions."

"The arrests are intended to satisfy the Americans and Europeans until things blow over.

"We get the impression the PA has not made a strategic decison to fight terror and return to negotiations," Gershon said in a briefing.

I would like to see Arafat publicly executed using one of his own special belts!

Explosives Belts Uncovered During Anabta Operation

(IsraelNationalNews.com) Soldiers operating in Anabta early Sunday morning uncovered a bomb factory and several explosive belts ready for use in attacks against Israelis.

According to the army’s Judea & Samaria Division Commander Brig.-Gen. Gershon Yitzhak, the special forces soldiers operating in the village today uncovered the terrorist bomb factory in additional to bombs set to detonate near the Shomron communities of Avnei Chafetz and Einav.

Eitan added that 30 Islamic Jihad, PFLP, and DFLP terrorists were taken into custody. Eight of them have been positively identified as having taken part in attacks leading to the murder of Israelis in the area.

The senior commander added there was no visible evidence that the PA was taking any significant steps towards eliminating terrorism.
