Two days of quiet along the northern border have barely made a dent in the high tensions felt in the region, especially in the Mt. Dov area along the eastern section of the border. Army forces are on the alert for Hizbullah fire towards communities, as well as attempted attacks against military outposts.
Zev Greenfeld of the Golan Heights community of N\'vei Ativ in the Golan was asked today if there is a sense of danger. \"Yes,\" he responded, \"they have shot even directly into the ski site [of Mt. Hermon, which he manages - ed. note]… Until two years ago, when the IDF was still in Lebanon, we were not in the range of Hizbullah rockets, but now we are… This may surprise you, because you know that I\'m pretty extreme in my opinions [he later said that those responsible for Oslo should be put on trial - ed.], but in this case I believe that the restraint exhibited by the government is the right course to take. We see that it\'s been quiet here for two days, so apparently the diplomatic efforts and the messages we sent to Syria and Lebanon have paid off. To ignite a conflagration here would be very easy, it can be done in one second, but that\'s not necessarily the smartest move…\"
