JNS.org – Israeli police and border patrol forces on Thursday arrested at least 20 east Jerusalem Palestinians suspected of participating in terror and criminal activity.

Authorities also confiscated illegal arms, ammunition and military gear.

A number of police raids resulting in Palestinian arrests took place this week in the West Bank, as well.

The raids follow multiple terror attacks by Palestinians against Israeli security forces stationed in east Jerusalem and the West Bank over the last week.
