Israeli security officials discovered last night that the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH) transferred information about the movement of IDF soldiers and Jewish residents of the city - including lists and maps - to the Tanzim terrorist organization. The Jewish Community of Hevron sent an urgent letter this morning to the IDF Commander of Hevron: \"We demand that you discontinue movement and activity of the TIPH in Hevron\'s Jewish neighborhoods. Their activity threatens our lives. From now on, we will relate to the TIPH observers as a hostile presence.\"
From the TIPH website: \"The TIPH mandate is the result of negotiations conducted between 1994 and 1997 by the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel. TIPH’s main task is to monitor and report the effort to maintain normal life in the city of Hebron and thus creating a feeling of security among the Palestinian residents of the city.\"
