Arutz-7\'s military correspondent Kobi Finkler notes that this morning was quiet, though last night was a bit violent: Eight mortar shells landed in communities throughout Gush Katif. Damage was caused in one instance. There was also a heavy grenade attack against the IDF Tarmit outpost near Rafiach; no one was hurt. Terrorists fired several Kassam rockets at the city of Sderot, just east of the Gaza Strip. The rockets landed in a field near several homes, causing no injuries.
In the Shomron, Palestinian terrorist bullets struck a passenger car traveling near Ma’aleh Levonah, north of Jerusalem, late last night. The driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed. He and his wife, who sustained light injures in the crash, hid in the nearby brush, fearing the Arabs would attempt to finish them off. They later succeeded in flagging down a passing Jewish motorist, who drove them to safety. Further north, two soldiers were lightly wounded by Arab gunfire near Ganim.
The army removed the curfews in Ramallah, Hevron, and Bethlehem today, and will re-impose them tonight. A forum of the Security Cabinet - Prime Minister Sharon and Ministers Ben-Eliezer, Peres, and Shalom - decided today that despite the threats by Hamas to avenge the killing of arch-terrorist Shehada in Gaza early yesterday morning, the planned easing of restrictions on the Arab population in Yesha would continue.
Li Bin, 33, a worker from China, is the fourth victim of last week\'s double suicide terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. He died this morning of wounds he suffered when two Islamic Jihad terrorists blew themselves up one after the other in southern Tel Aviv. His body will be flown to China in the coming days. A new immigrant from Russia and two other foreign workers were also killed in the attack.
