[IsraelTimes] Troops operate in Rummanah and Qarawat Bani Hassan following deadly terror attacks in Elad and Ariel; 11 others arrested across West BankSecurity forces raided the hometowns of recent Paleostinian Lions of Islam in the predawn hours of Monday and arrested several suspects wanted for involvement in a series of deadly attacks, the military said. In Rummanah near Jenin, two Paleostinians were arrested on suspicion that they aided two Lions of Islam who hacked three Israelis to death with an axe in the central city of Elad on Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces said. The two terrorists, As’ad Yusef As’ad al-Rifa’i, 19, and Subhi Emad Sbeihat, 20, were arrested Sunday morning in a forested area near Elad, about a kilometer from the scene of the attack. Later on Sunday, troops entered Rummanah to map out their residences ahead of a potential demolition. In Qarawat Bani Hassan, troops detained two Paleostinians suspected of aiding two members of the Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group who killed a security guard at the entrance of Ariel, a nearby settlement, in late April. Youssef Sameeh Assi and Yahya Marei were arrested a day after the deadly attack. The IDF has since mapped out their homes ahead of a potential demolition, and arrested another suspect who allegedly helped the pair commit the attack. In other areas of the West Bank, troops detained 11 others over suspected involvement in terror activities, the IDF said. Two firearms were also seized in the town of Azzun.
