Jewish towns were again under attack over the Sabbath and today. Arabs shot at Israeli civilians driving in Gush Katif (south of Ashkelon). In response, the IDF razed a three-story Gaza building, the source of the fire. Arabs 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: the burning of a greenhouse in Gush Katif; a bomb found near Kibbutz Migdal Oz, south of Efrat. The bomb was neutralized by sappers on Saturday morning. Another bomb exploded today on a Jewish-travelled road in northern Samaria. There were no reports of civilian injuries in any of the incidents, 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.
