Dozens of residents of Kiryat Arab and nearby communities went out again this morning to block Arab traffic in their area. Shlomo Levinger of Kiryat Arba told Arutz-7 what happened there this morning:
\"We have been doing this each morning for a number of weeks, and generally the police even help us. Today, we came to an agreement with them that we would leave at 8 AM - but suddenly, at 7:40, the chief officer suddenly gave an order to forcibly remove us from the road and let the Palestinian traffic through. They threatened us with arrest, they shoved us, they said they would not let Jewish traffic through - but we didn\'t give in... This went on for a while, and finally, at 8 AM, just as we had agreed, we left - even though the police didn\'t live up to their end of the deal.\" 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 - 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 \"bleeding\" ceasefire. They plan to remain there at least until Sunday.
