The ceasefire continues, say the commentators, but the communities of Gush Katif didn\'t notice it amidst the mortar attacks they suffered last night. Shells were fired towards Netzarim, Ganei Tel, and N\'vei Dekalim, and this morning three more mortars fell near an IDF outpost outside Gadid. No one was hurt. Palestinians also directed gunfire towards several IDF positions in Gaza, and the soldiers returned fire whenever they identified the source of the shooting. In Judea and Samaria, there were three shooting attacks - at cars near Chomesh (northern Shomron) and south of Hevron, and at an IDF base south of Jenin - but these did not turn into headlines, nor were details very plentiful, as no one was hurt. Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said last night that there is not yet a ceasefire, but rather \"fire with periodic ceasings.\"
Three armed gunmen entered fields near Givon this morning, between Jerusalem and Givat Ze\'ev, and made off with two tractors. In the process they overcame a security guard, who was taken for medical treatment. Police have confirmed that tracks from the scene point to a nearby Arab village. The fields and tractors belong to farmers from Ofrah, some ten kilometers northeast of Givon.
The army continued this morning \"shaving\" the sides of the Aboud by-pass road near N\'vei Tzuf, removing the trees from behind which Palestinian terrorists shot at passing Jewish cars at least 15 times in the past several months. One of these attacks ended in the murder of Lt. Ya\'ir Neventzal three weeks ago, while others led \"only\" to wounds. Local residents said today that they will cease their own \"shaving\" activities, and will suffice with protests outside the Prime Minister\'s Office. They will meet with Sharon early next week.
