Dozens of residents of Kiryat Arab and nearby communities went out again this morning to block Arab traffic in their area. Policemen stopped them from carrying out their plans, however. The residents explained that they were forced to take action because the army had removed the closures.

Outside the Prime Minister\'s Office in Jerusalem, citizens of N\'vei Tzuf and Ateret - the sites of many attacks in the past weeks and months - have erected a large protest tent. They are angered at the government\'s continued unilateral \"sanguinary\" (bleeding) ceasefire. They plan to remain there at least until Sunday.
