Jewish Family Escapes Arab Ambush on Road 443
Reported: 13:59 PM - Aug/09/10


A haredi religious family say they "miraculously" escaped an Arab rock assault on Route 443.

After a period of relative calm on the road, Arab threw stones at cars on Monday. At one point, a Haredi family from Modi'in Illit was caught in the ambush. But the father noticed the rock throwers in advance and quickly pulled his car off the road. "If I had not seen them in time, we would have been finished," he said.

GSS: Gaza Has Become a Terrorism Base Camp

A year-end report by the General Security Services (GSS; Shabak) states that the Gaza region has become the leading source of anti-Israel terrorism in recent years. This includes rocket and mortar attacks by Gaza-based Palestinian Authority (PA) terrorists and the export of terrorist know-how and funds to the PA in Judea and Samaria.

1,200 Rocket and Mortar Attacks

PA terrorists in Gaza launched more than 1,200 rockets at Israeli targets in 2007, the Shabak reported. Of those, 800 struck inside pre-1967 Israel. Two people were killed and 300 injured in the PA attacks. Most of the lightly injured victims suffered from shock.

According to the report, enemy rocket cells regularly launch their attacks on Jewish targets from within crowded urban areas in Gaza. In many cases, the terrorists launch rockets near, or even from the roofs of local homes, as well as from PA schoolyards.

The Spread of PA Terrorist Know-How

The Shabak report reveals that the PA terrorist organizations in Gaza are transferring know-how and funding to PA terrorists operating in Judea and Samaria. Gaza terror-masters are teaching Arabs in Judea and Samaria how to improve production of rockets and mortars. In addition, the Gaza-based terrorists offer guidance for continued anti-Israel attacks and cash for funding such activities.

I've almost never seen it posted here. In fact, the rare times someone does post an article from that site, several denizens usually make sure to point out that it is a far RW settler website that ought not to be trusted as a source. I myself have made that point on one or two of those rare occasions.

there's no partner for peace thrown in for good measure

A new IDF decree bans Israelis from entering Palestinian villages along Route 443, despite these villages being located in Area C, which is under complete Israeli control.

The ban was announced yesterday by GOC Central Command Avi Mizrahi. It joins other measures taken by the Central Command as the West Bank road is prepared to be opened to Palestinian traffic, in accordance with a Supreme Court verdict rendered earlier this year.

The Israel Defense Forces has decided to implement the narrowest conceivable interpretation of the verdict. For example, it is setting up much more meticulous checks along entries to the highway than those imposed on vehicles leaving Ramallah to travel on Route 60, the cross-West Bank highway used by Palestinians, settlers and Israelis

The new decree bans Israelis from the villages and from side roads next to the highway - a contrast to the relatively open access to other Area C villages. A Haaretz check found that the ban is already being implemented, with soldiers at the checkpoints not allowing Israelis to pass through.

one must wonder if this ban applies to settlers as Haaretz seems to think they are somehow different from Israeli's
