IDF Arrests 20 Palestinians, Seals Terrorist’s Room

Jerusalem, 10 November, 2016 (TPS) -- IDF and security forces arrested 20 Palestinians overnight in Judea and Samaria, 14 of whom are suspected of involvement in terror activities and rioting, along with attacking civilians and security forces. The suspects are being held for questioning.

In addition, IDF and security forces raided a weapons manfacturing workshop and seized a homemade rifle, a pistol and bullets. All were transferred to the proper authorities.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit also said that IDF troops sealed off the room of terrorist Younis Awad in his home in the village of Yatta, near Hebron. Awad helped plan last June’s mass shooting at the Sarona market in Tel Aviv, providing weapons and ammunition used in training prior to the attack and hiding them in his house. Four Israelis were killed.
