IDF forces found a large cache of weapons in an olive tree grove in a PLO-controlled area near Hevron yesterday. The weapons included six homemade mortar shells, an M-16 assault rifle, magazines, chemicals and explosive materials. The residents of Gush Katif, whose official count of mortars and rockets fired at their communities since the Oslo War began is now 3,510, called upon the Hevron-area Jews to "stop the mortars in the fields before they being exploding amidst your homes, as they do here."
Border Guard police found another cache that was on its way to a refugee camp in Rafiach in southern Gaza. Rafiach has been the site of the most attacks on IDF soldiers since the beginning of the Oslo war. The cache being smuggled included an automatic rifle and thousands of bullets.
