Two Israelis, including a baby girl, were killed and two others lightly wounded Friday night by a Palestinian gunman who infiltrated the West Bank settlement of Negohot, southwest of Hebron.

"To our regret, we have two killed and two more slightly wounded," said Dror Richter, spokesman for Magen David Adom.

Israel Defense Forces troops and settlers killed the terrorist, but security forces were searching the area for any other attackers.

The attack came as Jews in Israel were celebrating the first night of Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year - which began at sundown Friday and lasts until Sunday evening.

Late Thursday, a full closure was imposed on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, ahead of the holiday.

The closure has been put in place due to fears that Palestinian militants plan to carry out an attack during the holiday. Palestinians will, however, be allowed to enter Israel for humanitarian reasons.

Access to Friday prayers on the Temple Mount was limited to Palestinians aged 40 and older and those who carry Israeli identity cards. Some 15,000 attended and there were no incidents.

Police chief Shlomo Aharonishki told Israel Radio on Friday morning that large numbers of police reinforcements had been deployed throughout the country ahead of the holiday.

Police numbers have also been bolstered in cities along the Green Line, and Border Police units are on high alert along the divide between Israel and the West Bank.

Aharonishki said that the areas to which police officers had been deployed were given careful consideration, and were based not only on specific warnings, but also a more general approach.

IDF troops operating in the West Bank city of Ramallah arrested 25 Hamas activists overnight Thursday, Israel Radio reported.

Hours earlier, Palestinian gunmen fired shots near homes in the Psagot settlement close to Ramallah, Israel Radio said. There were no injuries.

In the Gaza Strip late Thursday, Palestinians fired at IDF troops near Atzmona in the Gush Katif settlement bloc, and troops returned fire. Palestinian gunmen also fired two anti-tank missiles at IDF troops near the Gadid settlement in southern Gaza. There were no injuries in either incident, the Itim news agency reported.

that allow word should not have been in there....

[yonif]

The IDF can, however, it does not seem it needs to do so at this time.

[richardtavor]

As previously stated, it is time to execute Arafat, Nasrallah and Yassin--The only reason it hasn't been done is over concern for collateral damage. The time is near when the IDF must enforce the Law of the Land and execute these murderers (and at the same time, inform Colin Powell that Israel will do exactly what the US has done--protect itself.

[richardtavor]

Coming soon--remember, the Israelis officially said they would remove Arafat before the New Year--It is now the New Year 5764, and G-d will take his vengeance. Rosh Ha Shana is officially for the prayer for the redemption of the World---Yom Kippur for the Atonement of Israel.

Heavy Sigh Yonif

At times..the U.S. poliitcal sytem grieve me to no end.

The excuse to not upset the Arabs and the oil is B.S..

I know my History well...from Johnson doing his best to hamstring Israel in the 60's..to Nixon and Kissingers games.

Its like Israel should suffer or some kinda bizarre 'Rub your face in the doo doo thingy">

The U.S. supports democracy..but when it comes to Israel..their is a blantant hypocrasy.

And this is not the people of the U.S...but their Gov.

The trough slurping is evident now...look at how Colin Powel hamstrung America..while the Turks sneered in the Wings..while 4 I.D. tried to keep from getting clostraphobia as they drifted around the MED.
Iraqs populace **needed to see their army get the chop.
delays..Frenchy whineing...Republican Guard were in group collectives back then.
U.S. could have Tomahawked 10,000 into oblivion..really put the fear of God into the Iraqi populace.

Iraqs a bloody mess...
Israel is staggering ...off to the cemetary for another funeral.

I think Americans are starting to ponder about Dubbyas credibity..

They were willing to forgo the obvious Family History...cut Him a break.
Jobs are vanishing overseas...terminated at home..no rehire next year.
strong consortiums like Boeing collapsing.
Enron..the Wall steet crowd...just a few hand slaps..while the nation goes Trillions into defecit.

One of my Family members..is a Col in the U.S. Airforce.
He writes think tank for Pentagon....currently is assigned to the Joint Chiefs.
His writtings are on the net..alot are PDF file.
Iraq is going just like it was forseen.
The voices at the Pentagon..."We told you so".

The Republican Party is Americas greatest hope for true Governance as the Constitution demands.

However...Bush has been reckless..the nation will suffer for years from his mismanagement.

Posters here at FR will chime in later..when he is gone.and say they felt he was too Corporate..and forgot the average American who works 40 plus hours a week.

The American populace needs to retake Washington...set some boundries with this crowd of Bufoons.

A great nation is being partitioned off for the sake of corporate interest.

American Soldiers are in Iraq for **OIL..anyone with 20 years under their belt can see it.

In retrospect..the U.S. should.."Kick their Ass and take their Gas".
if not..the damned French, Russians and Chi Coms would have it all.

I think this is going to be a different year here at FR.
Those who have politely deffered from being honest about the Bush admin..will begin to chime in.

If Corporate interest continues to dominate Gov projection..then the world is handed over to the N.W.O..
Here in Canada...we will mirror you..and slide into the Abyss of the European way.

Israel will be forsaken.

[July 4th]

Good doggy! (And a Happy New Year!)

[tet68]

Here in Canada...we will mirror you..and slide into the Abyss of the European way.

It would appear you proceed us.

[tet68]

Preceed us.

Why, you're almost France as it is.

[KosmicKitty]

We worry about waging war during Ramadan and the Islamic terrorists have no such qualms.

From what I have read, Mohammad waged war during Ramadan.

Remember, we're talking about a "religion" (cult) of peace. I'd like to see someone give arrafat a picture of the baby girl killed. Maybe we can talk the parent's of that crazy chick that got run over to do it.

[tet68]

Oh, I understand there are good freedom loving Canadians but
your socialist government says otherwise.

Foresake Israel ?
Don't make that mistake.

[Nix 2]

Palestinian "humanitarian," goodwill peace gesture for Rosh Hashana....

The Israelis need more best friends like this one:

[Frank_2001]

I think only GRATUITOUS violence is prohibited...you did not cross any lines IMO;)

[Slings and Arrows]

Israel has the tools. Unfortunately, she also has the illusion that peace is possible when her enemy wants no peace.

Sooner rather than later, Israel must decide how much of Gaza and Judea and Samaria she wants to hold (I'd say all of it, but opinions differ), annex those lands, and either transfer or de-Nazify the Palestinians who don't accept Israeli rule. G-d grant her the strength for the tasks that lie ahead.

[Slings and Arrows]

I love those pictures! Those dogs just look so happy!

It's great to see people (four- or two-legged) who love their work.

Out West in Alberta..we tend to ignore the Socialist trend.
Then too..we are kinda boxed in..as British Columbia has a socialist history...put the Joint down..Green Party or Sierra Club type thing.

I have worked in the oil patch for 2 + decades..last Employer out of Houston Texas.

Alot of American businesses in Alberta...so too,our Union is from the U.S. Boilermakers/Shipbuilders/Ironworkers.
Members do work in the U.S. or Canada as large contracts go.

Natco Built some oil/process units...just huge..scaled in size like a Submarine.
They were able to get NASA to loan telescoping railcars from the Saturn V program...thats how the finished got down to Lousianna.

Alberta is a kinda weird bubble...conservative..Bible Belt....Texas like.

But the immigration design of Ottawa is changing things here bit by bit...its beginning to drift here now.

A apathy exists..as Corporations remodel the landscape.

Our Cattle producers got hammered...one sick cow cost millions.

Premier of the Province is in hot water...someone overheard him saying the Farmer should have shot the cow and shut the **** up.

U.S. oil/gas needs which are increasing will keep U.S. and Alberta well connected.

Just prior to Gulf War 1..we were building Fracing units..[pressurized steam extraction]..for Iran.
The Russians..with Frac technology from the U.S...were slant drilling under the Iranian border..draining thier field : )
The Iranians were impatient and freeking out as the war drew near.
A ban on shipping hit the Gulf...the project was dropped by our U.S. Parent...finished product sat in the back 40 for 8 years after rusting.

Later i learned that the same U.S. oil consortium that backed this project..were the ones backing the Russian project on Irans border...go figure.
Oil giants play both sides....win win.

U.S. oil consortiums have been developing the Arctic..building in Alberta..trans and set up on Alaskas North Slope.
Huge projects...then Alaskas state Gov starts to tamper.
Its not ANWAR region...but that Sierra club thingy starts shutting down the projects potential

We have steel come in from all over the planet...shop population goes from 120 to near 500 for 2 years...our end is completed...then one learns that the project is basically sitting there on the North Slope..operating at about 30 % of its potential..a real head scratcher.

Southern Alberta used to have a huge weapons range ...we had 2 large armored units from WW-2...Brits and Germans would send their toys over ....same reality up north at the air weapons range in Wainright...alot of NATO activity...Large U.S. footprint.
Our Mech units were dissolved..Suffeild in the south closed...NATO and U.S. still use Wainright.

Immigration is changing Canada...a trip to my bank see's 3/4's asian..east indian..Muslim.
my area is like "Little Beruit"...sit in the doctors waiting room..learn Lebanese for free,
get a haircut..listen to the Lebanese barber glory in the deaths of his kin in The Lebanon rushing IDF emplacements.

U.S. unions are here...oil/gas..coproration...I make about $38.00 U.S. /hr...so its a great ride.

but it is bubble...a Cali North thingy..with lots of foreigners running around.

[Light Speed]

During some history research on the 6 day war..learned that the Israeli military wanted to oust the 'Grand Mufti' of Jerusalem..send him packing.

This was blocked by the re'al polotik of the time..and in some measure is a foundation stone for the current "Mental machinations" of the P.A.'s populace.

The Mosque is the core of Islam....it sets the speed dial for the Muslim machine.

Israel has no chance of social relationship with these people...the Mosque will never let it happen.

Now Israel's intransagence from the 60's comes home to roost.

Decades of hate projection doom each generation in sucession to conflict.

The Jewish Community in Hevron ,,with its ancient memorials to the Partiarchs..now..a Fort Apache..which Israel tenativley supports.

Gaza has historically been linked to Egypt..in a way..its a vassal proxy left to torment Israel.
Pharaoh of Egypt permits Hamas to flourish..Egypt gets to carve revenge on Israel..go about things unnoticed in the background.
that is until tunnels are found..and ships with weapons cargo's are found to have been logistically fronted with Egyptian and Iranian planning.

Presently Egypt fields nearly 3 mechanized divisions in Sinai[info from Janes]...yet Egypt is allowed only 1 mechanized division as per the Camp David Accords*.
Egypt gets around this by claiming the units are in logistical trans...maintenence..and training.

Syria with hundreds of missiles..vx nerve agent capable,
psycho Hizbullah and Iran brooding in the Lebanon.
P.A...like smome 5th element inside Israel waiting for its hour to generate chaos within.
Egypt..with a large military footprint on Israels south flank.

How long can this go on before it becomes unhinged like Yom Kippur in 73?

If Israel does not pre-empt this reality..they will survive..but the cost will zenith any loss numerics the state has formerly known.
Israel would have to go nuclear to survive.

They must hide in their homes on their own land, while Arafat sits protected on Jewish land.

You have that exactly right. There are no fences around Arab villages, no guard towers, no bars on the windows. The Jews are prisoners on their own land while the Arabs are free to build anywhere they want, to pillage, murder and act like animals.

The crazies are running the funny farm, the doctors are locked in the cage.
