(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - According to a senior security source, senior officials in the Palestinian Authority, as well as residents of the Gaza Strip and West Bank, are making efforts to thwart terror attacks. The source said that a brawl took place several days ago between residents of the Khan Yunis refugee camp, in southern Gaza, and a terror cell that refused to comply with the residents’ demand to halt terror attacks. A senior PA official came to the scene and ordered the residents to “break the bones” of the militants, Israel Radio reported. However, a report compiled by the Intelligence Department in the IDF General Staff states that the Palestinians are using the cease-fire to reorganize their terror infrastructure. According to the report, the cease-fire is being used to recruit suicide bombers and increase production of Qassam rockets in the Gaza Strip.
