As of noon today, there are 19 specific terror alerts regarding plans to carry out terror attacks, most of them focused on Islamic Jihad and the northern Samaria area.A second terror attack (the first is reported below) was foiled today, this one based in the usually-quiet Jericho. As a result of intelligence information (details are rarely released), Fatah terrorist Mahmoud Jaberi was cornered in his Jericho home. He preferred to avoid apprehension, but was spotted, shot and killed while escaping. His home was searched, and explosives found. Jaberi happens to be the terrorist responsible for the stabbing murder in April 2001 of an Israeli taxi driver, Simcha Ron whose close friendships with many Israeli and Palestinian Arabs eventually made no difference.
It's been a busy day. IDF forces arrested 10 other wanted terror suspects today in various Judea and Samaria villages. Four Hamas operatives were arrested in Qalqilya; 5 more in Ramallah; a Fatah terrorist was arrested in Bethlehem.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
