All's Getting Quiet on the Southern Front
(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - IDF officers in Gaza are saying that the Palestinians are more serious than ever before. "There's no double talk. When we have an agreement with them on a PA patrol being some place at a certain time, they're there. And there's no more PA police standing by idly while a few meters away someone fires at us," said a senior officer. Many of the old-timers from Tunis have been removed from the PA security services, replaced by new officers who are graduates of Israeli prisons and know Hebrew. But the Palestinian effort falls short of Israeli expectations for "a chain of prevention" - i.e., arresting suspects, interrogating them, checking the information they provide, and then charging them and putting them on trial.
