ISRAEL CAPTURES LOCAL HAMAS, JIHAD COMMANDERS
Israel's military has captured Palestinian insurgency commanders of a major West Bank city. Military sources said an Israeli force captured the commanders of the ruling Fatah militia, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in a search operation in the Tulkarm refugee camp. The camp is located near the old 1967 border and insurgency groups have recruited Palestinians for suicide attacks within Israel. "These arrests mean the prevention of something like 5-10 attacks within Israel," an Israeli military commander said. The Fatah commander was identified as Hisham Al Louisi. The sources said he sent suicide bombers in attacks on Israeli targets.
