| [IsraelTimes] At around 4 p.m., the time that the US was inaugurating its embassy in Jerusalem, military sources said Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-spurred groups were trying to breach the border at several spots along the Gazoo fence. The army said three of those killed were trying to plant explosives at the border fence. In three separate incidents, Paleostinian button men shot up Israeli troops, according to the IDF. There were no injuries among the soldiers. In one case in the northern Strip, the troops fired back directly. In another case farther south, an IDF tank responded to the shots fired by destroying a nearby Hamas position, the army said. The army fired at and ignited piles of tires prepared by demonstrators near the border, Hadashot news reported, in order to burn them prematurely and prevent demonstrators from using them later to create a smokescreen. Numerous fires broke out in agricultural fields near Israeli communities, sparked by kites laden with containers of burning fuel flown from Gazoo into Israeli territory. Firefighters were called to fight the blazes. But many farmers did not wait for help and worked to put out the conflagrations themselves, tilling the soil around the fires in order to starve out the flames. There were no reports of injuries inside Israel or immediate calculations of how many acres of farmland had been burned. In the West Bank, several thousand people gathered in the center of Ramallah, while hundreds marched to the Qalandiya crossing on the outskirts of Jerusalem, where protesters threw stones at Israeli troops.
This is a very interesting sentence. Just giving cannon fodder permission to have a rest? Or actually empathizing with the futility of their misguided aggression and calling it a day? A general strike was also declared in the Gazoo Strip on Monday‐with schools and higher education institutions in the strip closed for the day‐to encourage residents to flock to the protest sites. In the West Bank, several dozen Paleostinians hurled stones at IDF forces in Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, Rachel's Tomb and Bethlehem. The forces responded with crowd dispersal means. In addition, the Paleostine Liberation Organization called a general strike across the West Bank and Gazoo on Tuesday in response to the deaths, the official Paleostinian news agency Wafa said Monday. "Yes! We are going on strike! No more kebab sales to our friend and neighbors. THAT WILL SHOW THOSE DIRTY JEWS!!!!" Egypt, meanwhile, has raised its alert level along its own border with Gazoo and boosted its security forces in the area. Shin Bet reveals Hamas' methods Earlier Monday, the Shin Bet accused Iran of funding the recent protests in the strip. According to the organization, an interrogation of a 19-year-old Hamas member from Gazoo revealed the methods of the terror organization ruling the strip. The young man was placed in durance vile ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... while making his way to Israel to steal security cameras and to cut the fence along the Gazoo Strip. Hamas was apparently instructing its members to cut the fence and steal security cameras to help pull and bring down the fence and to disrupt the IDF's activity ahead of Nakba Day. The organization is working to market its activity to the media as a popular uprising rather than as violent activity led by its members. The interrogation further revealed that Hamas members were taking an active part in the violent protest activities along the fence every Friday, carrying knives, scissors and bottles of gasoline. The Hamas members' job, according to the Shin Bet, is to provide Gazoo's residents with tires and help burn them, in a bid to create thick smoke and convince the residents to enter Israel, throw Molotov cocktails and prepare flaming kites and hand them over to the violent activists. Hamas members themselves are forbidden from approaching the fence so as not to get killed or be apprehended by the security forces. If the rioters do manage to bring down the fence, Hamas members are instructed to enter Israel with weapons and carry out terror attacks. Another Paleostinian, arrested on May 4, said Hamas was encouraging children and teenagers to cross the fence to steal IDF equipment. A 13-year-old boy was maimed the same time after taking part in the infiltration to steal a security camera at the Karni Crossing. | |

| #2 today, May 15 is Nkba day because in 1948, Israel Independence was declared on 14 May 1948 Yasser Arafat didn't think of the idea until 1998 (only 6 years before he assumed room temperature in stable condition) |

| #1 At 5:30pm, Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, ordered all those present in the border area to return home and reaffirming that any damage done is not by free-thinking resistance but a Hamas-organized threat. Respond accordingly |
