The flour mill in Gush Katif is again in the news. The Jewish residents nearby have long claimed that the building that towers over a critical junction there is being used as a terrorist base, and demand its demolition. The IDF destroyed only part of it a few days ago after a terrorist being pursued by soldiers found refuge there. This morning, terrorists shot again at Israeli cars near the mill; no one was hurt, but one car was damaged.
This afternoon, gunfire was directed at a military armored personnel carrier and a passenger bus about 700 meters from the Beit Haggai Junction in the Southern Hevron Hills district. There were no injuries. Last night, an IDF officer was lightly wounded in an attack near Shechem, and two off-duty soldiers were moderately wounded near Ateret, north of Ramallah. The latter are hospitalized in Hadassah Ein Kerem in Jerusalem. In Ashkelon, security forces are inspecting the remains of a Kassam rocket that was apparently fired at the city from Gaza last week. Another loud boom was heard south of the city last night, ostensibly the sound of another Kassam attempt.
Two days ago, Valery Achmir, 56, of Beit Shemesh - victim #289 of the Oslo War - was murdered by Palestinian terrorists between Givat Ze\'ev and Atarot, north of Jerusalem. Employed as a security guard in the Atarot Industrial Park, he was shot in the head and neck. His funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon.
Hevron residents report that although the media have not reported it, there have been at least nine attempted murders of Jews in the city, in the form of sniper fire, over the past two days. Yesterday afternoon, for instance, Yifat Alkobi was walking from her Tel Rumeida home to the Machpelah Cave with her three young children when shots rang out. She later told Arutz-7 that the bullets appeared to be precisely aimed, and in fact passed within millimeters of her children. The shooting originated in the Abu Sneineh hills, which Prime Minister Sharon promised in November to \"re-take\" if there would be \"even one shot\" from there.
