Israeli Offensives In Gaza, Shomron
An IDF offensive in a PA-controlled village near Tul Karem (on the western edge of Shomron, 15 kilometers east of Netanya) uncovered an explosives laboratory and several ready-to-detonate explosive vests. Brig.-Gen. Gershon Yitzchak of the Judea-Samaria Division announced today that the forces also found several bombs that the terrorists planned to place on roads near the Shomron communities of Avnei Heifetz and Einav.

On the personnel side, the soldiers also arrested some 30 suspects of Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, and the DFLP terrorist organizations. Eight of them have already been identified as having perpetrated shooting and bomb attacks in the region.

Over the weekend, Israeli armed forces took military action in Gaza, including entering PA-controlled area in Rafiach for a short period. They destroyed two PA para-military posts there, and bombed other targets in southern Gaza. Palestinian mortar fire at civilian targets did not stop, however; shells landed in Jewish communities on Friday night, yesterday, and last night; no one was hurt.
