...while Reuters once again shows its true colors by referring to the "occupied West Bank."

"Israel captures Islamic Jihad members in West Bank," from [1] Reuters (thanks to all who sent this in):

NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops captured two top members of the Islamic Jihad militant group in raids in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, Palestinian security sources and witnesses said.

Israeli troops arrested an Islamic Jihad leader, identified as Mohammad Assayda, near the West Bank city of Nablus, the militant group said.

Assayda, who was released from Israeli jail in September, is a lecturer at al-Najah University.

Islamic Jihad militant Samer al-Saadi was captured in a separate raid in a refugee camp in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, a Palestinian security officer told Reuters.
