Read again Dan:
"After Israeli helicopters and tanks bombarded a security compound in
Ramallah for nearly 24 hours, a government spokeswoman announced the capture
of just six wanted Palestinian militants. There was no sign that the house
to house searches of West Bank cities had uncovered any well-known fugitives."

being undertaken to find people who are not even wanted?

That's nothing to shout about, given that the Israeli PM is a suspected war
criminal[1]. When an eyewitness said he would testify against him a couple
of months ago, his car was blown up... he was in it at the time.
