JNS.org – The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is continuing its search for the two Hamas terrorists, Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Aisheh, that the Jewish state says are behind the kidnapping and murder of the three Israeli teens. Israel’s defense establishment believes the two terrorists are hiding in the West Bank.

Israeli soldiers arrested 42 Palestinians in the West Bank on Tuesday night, 40 of them Hamas members. The IDF then shut down six Hamas civil service centers on Wednesday. Since the beginning of the army’s “Operation Brother’s Keeper” two weeks ago, 463 Palestinians have been arrested in the West Bank.
