IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Sha’ul Mofaz said today that despite the army\'s withdrawal last night from Bethlehem and Gaza, there are no signs that the Palestinians are attempting to stop their terrorism. He said that numerous terrorist warnings continue to be received; the Sharon and Jordan Valley regions were on high alert today. The army will continue to encircle the PA-controlled cities, Mofaz said, until the negotiations for the implementation of Tenet make progress. Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said later this afternoon that he hopes that a ceasefire will be in place by the end of the next 48 hours - - although he also noted that in the last 24 hours alone, there were 28 terrorist attacks and attempts.
