Jewish towns were again under attack over the Sabbath and Saturday night. Arab terrorists opened fire upon neighborhoods in Hevron, the northern Efrat neighborhood of Givat HaDagan (both south of Jerusalem) and N\'vei Dekalim on the southern Mediterranean coast. Other civilian targets include: shots at a family driving in Gush Katif (south of Ashkelon); setting fire to a greenhouse there; a bomb found near Kibbutz Migdal Oz, south of Jerusalem. The bomb was neutralized by bomb demolition experts on Saturday morning. There were no reports of civilian injuries in any of the communities, although a border policeman was lightly injured by a stone thrown at him in Hevron. Also in Hevron, Arabs and Jews came to blows in a fracas that erupted as a result of the ongoing shooting incidents in the city.
There were also no injuries to Israeli troops in the many other shooting and grenade incidents that involved the IDF over the weekend. Soldiers came under gunfire in the Bituniya area (northeast of Jerusalem), in Gush Katif, near Har Bracha and on the road leading to the IDF position on Mount Eval (both east of Netanya), in the Bethlehem district (south of Jerusalem). A bomb was detonated against IDF forces operating near Sebastia, in the northern Shomron, on Saturday night. There were no injuries in the incidents.
