Dit zijn het soort operaties waarvan alle weldenkende mensen vinden dat Israël ze niet mag uitvoeren omdat ze het internationale recht zouden schenden, omdat ze alleen maar tot meer extremisme zouden leiden en onschuldige burgers, zoals zwangere vrouwen treffen. Men beweert graag en vaak dat het veiligheidsargument van Israël niet deugt en slechts een dekmantel is om de Palestijnen te terroriseren.
During a search in a civilian home, the forces came upon a pregnant Palestinian woman sitting on a bed. The woman refused to get up, claimed that there was nothing unusual in her home and that she did not feel well. The forces continued the search and uncovered a weapons cache under her bed.

Een andere terrorist was als vrouw verkleed, om zo arrestatie door Israël te ontlopen.
President Abbas heeft de Israëlische operatie in Nablus hard veroordeeld op een persconferentie met Condoleezza Rice vorige week. Hij zou eens moeten uitleggen waarom het verijdelen van een zelfmoordaanslag - gericht op het saboteren van de vredesconferentie dit najaar - zo slecht is voor vrede. Eigenlijk zou hij zelf dergelijke aanslagen moeten voorkomen, maar er is algemeen begrip voor dat hij daar te zwak voor is, ondanks de wapens en training van zijn veligheidsdienst door de Amerikanen.

'Planned Hamas aimed at sabotaging summit'
By YAAKOV KATZ
Hamas is under orders to perpetrate a large terrorist attack in an Israeli city to undermine the peace summit scheduled for November, senior defense officials said Saturday, hours after a Yom Kippur suicide attack was thwarted by an arrest and the capture of an explosives belt in Tel Aviv.
Security officials said intelligence on the imminent attack was obtained by the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) from the head of Hamas in Nablus, Niad Shakrit, who was arrested late Thursday night by the IDF's Duvdevan undercover unit, ending a four-day operation in the West Bank city.
During the operation last week, the army arrested 49 suspects, including a suicide bomber who was supposed to use the belt that was captured on Saturday in Tel Aviv.
The explosives belt was found in an apartment in south Tel Aviv's Rehov Fijoto. Policemen and Shin Bet operatives who raided the apartment were attacked by a group of Palestinians who had illegally entered Israel in search of work. One of the policemen had his nose broken in the scuffles and was taken to hospital.
Border Police sappers destroyed the bomb belt in a controlled explosion on the sand dunes between Rishon Lezion and Holon.
"Hamas is doing everything it can to perpetrate an attack in the near future, in an effort to spoil the planned US-sponsored peace summit set for November," a defense official said. "They are trying harder, which means we also need to try harder to stop them."
Shakrit had told the Shin Bet that a man from Nablus named Mhadi Ashur was living illegally in Tel Aviv and knew where the explosives belt was hidden.
Police immediately began scouring south Tel Aviv. Ashur was located on Saturday and led security forces to the belt.

Summary of IDF activity in the Ein Beit Ilmeh R.C. in Nablus
http://dover.idf.il/IDF/English/Announcements/2007/09/2201.htm
Prior to the start of the Yom Kipur fast IDF forces completed an operation against the extensive terror infrastructure in the Ein Beit Ilme refugee camp in Nablus. The purpose of the operation was to prevent the execution of terror attacks into the Israeli homefront. The operation began following the receipt of information about the intention of Palestinian terrorist organizations to execute murderous attacks. Nablus is the terror capital of the West Bank. In 2007, 10 bomb making laboratories were found in the area. In 2006, 117 of the 187 potential suicide bombers arrested in Judea and Samaria were from the Nablus area.
An IDF soldier, Staff Sergeant Ben-Zion Haneman, was killed, and another soldier was lightly injured during the operation. In a number of incidents, Palestinians opened fire and detonated explosives at IDF soldiers. IDF forces killed two Palestinian gunmen, among them the gunman who was responsible for the killing of Staff Sergeant Haneman.
IDF searches uncovered weapons caches in civilian homes containing hand grenades, assault rifles, means for making explosives, mechanisms used for explosives, army equipment and additional ammunition. IDF sappers detonated the weaponry and explosives material in a controlled fashion.
49 wanted Palestinians among them Hamas and PFLP militants were arrested during the operation and taken for questioning by security forces. Among the militants arrested, was Nihad Rashid Hasan Shakirat, a senior wanted militant, head of the Hamas terror organization in the Ein Beit Ilmeh R.C. Shakirat, 34, was hiding inside a civilian home at the time of his arrest until the residents of the house, concerned by the presence on behalf of the IDF, forced Shakirat to exit the building.
Shakirat, 23, revealed during questioning that he had given an explosive suicide belt to Mahed Ashur, a resident of Nablus who worked in Tel Aviv. Yesterday, IDF forces arrested Ashur who directed the forces to a weapons cache, which contained bomb making materials. During his questioning Ashur admitted to receiving a suicide belt from Shakirat which he transferred to Tel Aviv in order to execute a suicide bombing against Israeli civilians. The belt was later found by Border Police sappers in a civilian home in southern Tel Aviv and detonated in a controlled fashion.
During a search in a civilian home, the forces came upon a pregnant Palestinian woman sitting on a bed. The woman refused to get up, claimed that there was nothing unusual in her home and that she did not feel well. The forces continued the search and uncovered a weapons cache under her bed.
The Forces also arrested the senior wanted Palestinian militant Ahmed Yusuf Iah Aa-Az, 36, one of the senior leaders of the Hamas terror organization in the Ein Beit Ilmeh R.C..
In a different incident, the forces arrested a Hamas terror operative, who was dressed at the time as a woman in order to disguise himself while the IDF forces searched for him.
IDF forces also arrested Haled Nuri, Yusuf Nadi and Mustafa Nuri, members of the Hamas terror organization who admitted during their investigation that they intended to execute terrorist attacks. Mustafa Nuri also admitted his intention to commit a suicide bombing. Their terrorist cell acquired weaponry for the execution of the attacks from the leaders of the Hamas infrastructure in the Nablus region. Hamis Valid Hamis Mari, 28, a senior PFLP operative was also arrested as part of the activity.
The IDF operation successfully prevented terror attacks on Israeli civilians. The IDF will continue to operate against the terror organizations in order to ensure the security and safety of the citizens of Israel.
