The latest arrests mean that more than 60 members of the organisation have been arrested this week after the Israeli army, which had been holding back on arrest operations, decided `to take the gloves off` with Jihad. The faction is meant to be observing a de facto truce but it was involved in two deadly attacks on Sunday and Monday.
