Palestinian Muslim terrorists escalated their shooting attacks at Jerusalem\'s southern neighborhood of Gilo this weekend by firing a mortar shell. It significantly damaged a building, but caused no injuries. In response, IDF forces took over the town of Beit Jala, between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, from where fire has long been launched at both Gilo and the Tunnels Highway leading to Gush Etzion.
Army forces also took over parts of Bituniya, just west of Ramallah, and surrounded the headquarters of PA security chief Jibril Rajoub. The IDF demanded that he surrender the wanted terrorist fugitives inside, including, according to some reports, Tanzim head Marwan Barghouti, as well as some 400 armed militiamen; Rajoub responded brazenly that he would surrender no one and would fight to the last bullet.
The Hizbullah terrorists in Lebanon attacked Israeli positions with mortar and anti-tank fire yesterday near the Shab\'a Farms. Israel returned helicopter fire against Hizbullah positions, and warned Syria - Hizbullah\'s co-patron (together with Iran) and the power behind the Lebanese throne - not to allow further Hizbullah escalation.
A Kassam rocket was found in Kibbutz Nachal Oz, just east of the Gaza Strip. No one was hurt, and it is assumed that Arab Moslems fired the rocket this morning.
