Meanwhile, the war in Gaza continues: Two mortar shells were fired this morning at a Gush Katif town and a nearby army base; no one was hurt. Construction work on the Kisufim bridge, to which the Jewish residents strongly object, has finally stopped. Prime Minister Sharon gave the stop order two days ago, effective for three weeks. During this period, the residents\' objections will be studied and alternatives will be proposed. The Jews of Gush Katif acknowledge that there is a problem, in that security considerations force the holding-up of east-west Arab traffic when north-south Jewish traffic arrives at the Kfar Darom intersection. However, they say, it is a problem caused by Arab terrorists, not the Jews, and they should not be forced to travel on a narrow, dangerous, and vulnerable-to-attack overpass as a result.
