Israeli soldiers are still searching for the bodies of Palestinians under the rubble of the destroyed Palestinian Authority headquarters in the city of Hebron, but so far no trace of the bodies has been found. The Israeli army blew up the building early on Saturday morning, leveling it to the ground, because 15 wanted Palestinians who had taken refuge inside the building refused to surrender to Israeli soldiers. In Ramallah, located in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers began house-to-house searches in a refugee camp and arrested several individuals. Meanwhile, Israeli officials reported that a bomb exploded early this morning under a train in central Israel passing through south of Tel Aviv, resulting in minor injuries to three passengers. Officials did not specify which group was responsible for the bombing. In another development, the Israeli Defense Minister has ordered the army to demolish 10 Jewish settlements located in the West Bank overnight. Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, the Defense Minister, stated that these settlements were not established with the approval of the responsible authorities.
