| [Ynet] Rock ambushes, terror attacks and violent confrontations continue to be daily occurrences, as tensions show no sign of easing. Clashes continued in Israel and the West Bank on Sunday, with violence erupting both between large groups and on an individual scale. Four Israelis, including two soldiers, were maimed on Sunday evening when a resident of Umm al-Fahm ran some of them over and stabbed others. Earlier in the day, a Paleostinian driver went kaboom!a gas canister at a checkpoint in the West Bank Sunday morning, lightly wounding a police officer who pulled her over. Overnight on Saturday, an Israeli air strike on a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, target in the Gazoo Strip following a rocket attack. The strike brought down a nearby house, killing a Paleostinian woman and her daughter. According to Paleostinian reports, a 13-year-old Paleostinian was killed on Sunday. Clashes and protests Simultaneously, festivities between Paleostinian and security in the West Bank continued. Paleostinians reported that 13-year-old Ahmed Saraja from Jalazone refugee camp near Ramallah was killed near the Beit El checkpoint. Other communities in the Arab sector were holding violent protests. Perhaps the main focus was the village of Kafr Kanna, in the Lower Galilee, where dozens, some masked, gathered and burned tires. There was a heavy police presence. Police were stopping all vehicles arriving at the entrance to the village asking the occupants if they were Jews. If the answer was yes, they ordered them to make a U-turn in order to avoid the scene of conflicts. Other villages where rioting took place included Reinae, where dozens of tires are burning in the village square. In Tur'an dozens have gathered at the entrance to the village, some of them masked. In Majdal Krum and Daburiya, tires were burning. Barrage of stones "If I had not been protecting my head, I do not know where I would be today," Yedidya Zelinger said, recalling the barrage of stones he received on his way to Kiryat Arba on Sunday night. Zelinger and other people, including a tourist, were lightly maimed by stones thrown at them near the village of Beit Ummar. Zelinger said he saw 20 young Arab men approaching him on Highway 60. "They threw huge blocks at the car at point-blank range," Zelinger said. "I felt like I was in a shooting range," he said. "They were masked, with death in their eyes. I always thought that throwing rocks was something light, but when it actually happens it's crazy." |

| #1 I think its time for Israel to napalm the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip. When the fires die out, plow the area and start selling lots. There are, and should be, consequences for behavior. The more outrageous the behavior, the more dire the consequences should be. |
