(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.

The PFLP assassinated Maj.-Gen. (res.) Zeevi in a Jerusalem hotel in 2001.
