Cease-fire violence last night and this morning: An Israeli guard protecting road-workers near Avnei Heifetz was shot and lightly wounded by Palestinian terrorists; a remote-controlled bomb exploded near Alfei Menashe near Kalkilye and Kfar Saba; and there were shots at IDF outposts in N'vei Dekalim in Gaza and near Jenin.



The police have deployed checkpoints in the Sharon area, in light of intelligence warnings of a terrorist attack. The alert is in place in Rosh Ha'Ayin, Kfar Saba and Petach Tikvah. Just a week ago, two terrorists were caught on their way to perpetrate a major attack in Petach Tikvah.



Despite all, the next step of the Road Map was implemented in Bethlehem today; see below.
