Residents of Shilo - 30 kilometers north of Jerusalem - manned the Haramiya Checkpoint this morning, following the IDF\'s decision to abandon the spot; ten Israelis were killed there by a lone Palestinian gunman earlier this week. The civilians insist that they will remain there until the army returns. The army has also removed many other checkpoints, and local residents reacted similarly. People from Kokhav HaShachar and Rimonim plan to spend the Shabbat at \"their\" checkpoint. Army and police forces came to the site this morning, attempting to convince them that the checkpoint system has failed. The army is currently employing a roving system of mobile forces that carry out spot checks.
