In a sign of solidarity with Gilo residents who are under daily terrorist fire, Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert has announced he is setting up shop in southern Jerusalem. He will spend a few hours each day in his new Gilo office, beginning Sunday and until further notice. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has instructed government agencies to begin working immediately to install more bulletproof windows in residents\' homes. Until then, sandbags placed on window sills facing PA autonomous areas will have to suffice. Experts are skeptical that the bulletproofing will hold up to the new and stronger machine-gun bullets used by the Palestinians of late.
An 86-year-old Gilo man sustained moderate-to-serious wounds from gunfire last night; his condition is said to have stabilized over the night. Gilo residents will protest tonight, for the first time, outside the Prime Minister\'s home in Jerusalem, demanding an end to the shooting attacks upon their neighborhood.
In a related item, the Hevron solidarity tent in Bat Yam will come to an end tonight with a flourish. Begun ten days ago to show support for the besieged Jewish residents of Hevron, tonight\'s closing will feature National Religious Party head Rabbi Yitzchak Levy, Bat Yam Chief Rabbi David Chai HaCohen, and the father of the murdered 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass, Itzik. Residents of Hevron continue to man a tent of their own near the Avraham Avinu neighborhood, demanding that the army put an end to the Palestinian sniper fire on the Jewish neighborhoods by conquering the Abu Sneineh hills.
