IDF Enters Jericho to Arrest Killers of Israeli Minister
(Ynet News) Ali Waked - Israeli security forces entered Jericho on Tuesday to arrest the killers of Israeli minister Rehavam Zeevi, who are held at a PA prison. Israel's decision to enter Jericho was taken after the IDF received information that the PA intends on releasing Ahmed Saadat and three other members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, who were held there under international supervision. Following Tuesday's announcement by Akram Rajoub, director of Palestinian Preventive Security in Jericho, that the British and American supervisors had left the prison, the IDF was instructed to act. The PFLP assassinated Maj.-Gen. (res.) Zeevi in a Jerusalem hotel in 2001.
