"Mortar shell and Kassam rocket attacks have decreased dramatically," Mofaz said this morning, "but other terror activities, such as arms-smuggling, tunnel-building and more, continue just the same."
Last night, an Israel Defense Forces unit captured an Arab woman who was planning to commit a suicide terrorist attack. A member of the Fatah terror organization, she was apprehended northwest of Jenin, adjacent to area Israel is to evacuate in the framework of the disengagement plan.
Near Maccabim, east of Ben Gurion International Airport, a Hamas terrorist was arrested in the midst of planning a terrorist attack.
On the other hand, the IDF has decided to reopen the Karni Crossing in Gaza as a humanitarian gesture to the local Arab population. The crossing has been closed to people and goods since the multi-pronged terror attack there on Jan. 13 in which six Israelis were murdered. New guarding arrangements have been made at the site.
