| [IsraelTimes] Five others arrested in overnight raids; no injuries to Israeli security forces; makeshift submachine gun found near Nablus, pistol near Hebron, along with Jenin suspect’s weapons A suspected terror operative accused of being involved in the killing of a veteran police commando earlier this year was arrested by Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Jenin, Israeli officials said. According to a joint statement by the Israel Defense Forces, Shin Bet security service and Israel Police, the suspect, Sadki Ahmed Ali Marai, was arrested during a daylight raid in the northern West Bank city. The IDF said Marai, 23, was a "high-level bully boy operative" responsible for a series of shooting attacks against Israeli troops in recent months. Marai is also accused of being involved in the gunfire that killed Command Sgt. Maj. Noam Raz, as troops were wrapping up a raid in Jenin in May. Another suspect in the shooting was killed by troops last week. The military said troops seized an M16 rifle and two handguns in Marai’s vehicle. During the operation, the IDF said troops shot up a Paleostinian who hurled an bomb at them. Paleostinian media reports said the man was hurt in the leg. Aim higher No Israeli soldiers were hurt in the operation, officials said. The IDF said in a statement that troops operated in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, near Ramallah in the central West Bank, and in Qalqilya and several small towns near Nablus in the northern West Bank. There were no injuries to Israeli forces during the operations, and all of the suspects were taken by the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning. In the village of Burqa near Nablus, troops detained one terror suspect and seized a makeshift "Carlo" submachine gun, the IDF said. In Dura, near Hebron, two wanted Paleostinians were arrested and a handgun was seized by forces, the IDF said. There were no reports of major festivities during the IDF’s arrests operations early Thursday. |
