Concerns for Truce as Bombs Go Off Near Nablus
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - A car bomb and other explosives were set off near IDF troops operating in and around Nablus Thursday, raising fresh concerns for the battered truce between Israel and the Palestinians. The IDF expects the PA to replace the senior echelon in its security services in the West Bank. "Only replacing the veteran generation of officers in the West Bank, particularly in the National Security Forces, would constitute a genuine declaration of intentions. With the current bunch, not much can be expected," a senior officer explained. On Wednesday, security forces foiled a planned suicide bombing with Jerusalem as the intended target, security sources said.
