IDF: Islamic Jihad leader arrested in Jenin

The Israel Defense Forces says it has captured a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist who was hiding in the offices of the International Solidarity Movement in Jenin.

Shadi Sukiya was involved in the planning of several thwarted suicide attacks, according to the IDF.

Two foreign ISM activists reportedly helped Sukiya hide from soldiers.

The IDF says such actions by workers in organizations like the ISM could put them at risk as soldiers carry out their operations.
