Israel to PA: Gaza Deployment Insufficient

(Jerusalem Post) Margot Dudkevitch - Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz told PA security advisor Muhammad Dahlan on Monday that the deployment of PA forces in Gaza was insufficient, as terrorist cells continued to fire at Israeli targets. A barrage of eight mortar shells was fired at Gush Katif on Monday, damaging a home in Neveh Dekalim. The defense minister demanded a committed crackdown on terrorist infrastructure in Gaza, which would include all groups, including the small ones; rounding up and interrogating suspected terrorists; and collecting illegal arms and shutting down arms manufacturing factories. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying they were in response to the shooting of a Palestinian girl. However, Israel said jubilant Palestinian rifle fire celebrating the return of pilgrims from Mecca killed the girl. On the West Bank Monday, an Israeli citizen was wounded after a Molotov cocktail hit his car near Migdalim, a soldier was wounded by a pipe bomb in Hebron, shots were fired at IDF troops near Jenin and Kadim, an explosive device was discovered on the Tunnel Road from Jerusalem to Gush Etzion, and several Israeli cars were stoned near Beitar Ilit.
