IDF neutralizes 10-15 kg. explosive belt near Nablus
The Israel Defense Forces discovered and neutralized an explosive belt near Nablus on Monday morning.

The Palestinians appear to have been about to transfer the explosive belt to a terrorist to carry out an attack within a short time, Army Radio reported.

The IDF arrested six Palestinians in the area for questioning, and reports 16 specific warnings of terror attacks despite the cease-fire.

Overnight Monday, Islamic Jihad activist Rami Isleit, 23, was killed while activating a roadside bomb near a military vehicle in near the West Bank city of Jenin, Israel Radio reported. None of the soldiers were injured in the vehicle, which sustained serious damage.


Over the past week, IDF forces and the Shin Bet security service seized three would-be suicide bombers who planned to carry out attacks within Israel, Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said in remarks
quoted Monday.

Defense officials told the cabinet that security forces in the West Bank had uncovered two terrorist cells of the militant Tanzimin,
affiliated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, the radio said.
