The so-called “relative calm” or “lull” that is reported on regularly consist of events like this:
Israel Defense Forces troops arrested a Palestinian woman bearing a knife at a checkpoint south of Jerusalem, Israel Radio reported Saturday. The woman admitted during an interrogation that she planned to stab a policeman.
Also on Saturday, IDF soldiers arrested a Palestinian youth who was found to be carrying two pipe bombs at the Jenin checkpoint in the West Bank. The 17-year-old male was nabbed when one of the bombs he was concealing dropped to the ground.
Initial interrogations revealed that he intended to detonate the explosives near the soldiers at the checkpoint.
There was a terror alert in Jerusalem on Sunday that was lifted earlier. But there will be more:
At this time, security authorities are dealing with 42 terror warnings regarding plans by terror groups to carry out attacks in Israel.
Ha’aretz says there are more than 42 terror warnings:
The defense minister told the government before his meeting with the prime minister on Sunday that there are currently ten alerts for terror threats in Israel, and 50 tips on terror organizations preparing attacks.
But there is a “relative calm.” A “lull.”
Honest.
Now Hezbollah has set fire in the North firing katyushas and mortars into Israel. Apparently they tried to kidnap soldiers as well and inhabitants are in bomb shelters for the night at least.
According to an Arab TV station Hezbollah in having trouble with the Lebanese govt., is trying to divert attention at the expense of Israelis.
Maybe they feel that Rice’s Mexicanisation of Israel’s border needs celebrating!
