A top Islamic Jihad terrorist surrendered to Israeli soldiers early Thursday, witnesses said, after a daylong siege during which army bulldozers knocked down the four-story house where he was hiding.
Dozens of troops surrounded the building in the town of Jenin in the hunt for Iyad Abu Rob. Witnesses said Abu Rob, a senior commander of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank (Judea and Samaria), emerged from the wrecked house after midnight and was taken away by soldiers along with one of his aides, the witnesses said.
In a separate operation, dozens of troops entered the village of Kfar Kalil near Nablus where two wanted men were hiding, as an army bulldozer began to demolish a building, witnesses said.
The army said troops entered Kfar Kalil to search for wanted men, surrounding two houses. After an exchange of fire, two of the men inside surrendered. Another was shot, the military said, but his condition was not known.
