The PLO appears to be concentrating much of its efforts against Netzarim, the most isolated of the Jewish communities in Gaza. Two more terrorists were detected and killed by Israeli forces near the Jewish town on their way to carry out another attack last night. Some ten terrorists have been killed in similar circumstances over the past few days.
This morning, Israeli forces destroyed a building on the main highway near Netzarim. It served to shelter the Moslems who detonated a powerful explosive on Thursday under an Israeli tank, killing three Israeli soldiers. Gush Katif residents demand the demolition of other structures at the Kisufim Junction, from behind which terrorists have shot at Israeli cars over the past weeks. They have erected a protest tent at the site.
A resident of the Jewish community of Ganei Tal in Gush Katif found an explosive device in the trunk of his car this afternoon. IDF sappers dismantled it safely.
The IDF currently remains only in Bethlehem, Beit Jala, and around Ramallah. Foreign Minister Peres said last night that the army has stopped all activities throughout Yesha, except those against \"ticking time-bombs.\" These actions apparently included anti-terrorist activities in several north-Shomron villages near Jenin, where army forces searched today for wanted terrorists, explosives, and weapons. IDF armored forces also re-entered central Bethlehem this afternoon; exchanges of fire took place, and at least one terrorist was killed.
