In the face of the continued intense warfare in his area, and other difficulties, Gaza Coast Regional Council head Aharon Tzur sounded a defiant tone today. \"I am not interested in what the army does,\" he told Arutz-7 today. \"I am interested only in results. In the past, the army has stopped the firing of mortars, and it must continue to receive a free hand to continue doing so. Yesterday, Prime Minister Sharon assured us that he is giving the army the freedom to do what is necessary, but I can tell you that somewhere along the way, that message has been held up. I speak to the commanders here often, and the fact is that this message has simply not been received by the army.
\"The same is true for the overpass being built here. Sharon promised us yesterday that all work on the bridge would stop until he returns from the U.S. and sees the situation for himself - yet the work is continuing. Despite the fact that we went to the top of the pyramid, the Prime Minister himself, the tractors still continue. We have decided that if we have no other choice, tomorrow we will bodily stop the work.\"
