The night sky over Bethlehem and nearby towns was lit up by several rockets fired by attack helicopter gunships hovering over the town. The rocket fire was directed at the nearby town of Beit Jalla. The sounds of the rocket explosions could be heard all over south Jerusalem. I just received this note from an American sister who works with the Bridges for Peace ministry here in Jerusalem. Please keep her and others in the Gilo neighborhood, including a board member of the CFI ministry who lives in the affected area, in your prayers. "The neighborhood of Gilo has been under direct gunfire from Bet Jalla. Bet Jalla is to the right from where I live. Right now there are machine guns firing down the street from my apartment complex. We have not been asked to evacuate yet. Elizabeth and I are taking precaution but we do need your prayers. Shalom, Sarah" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- 6:25p EST Sunday evening, October 22, 2000 The situation here in Israel tonight is quite tense, with the so-called peace process appearing to be dead. Helicopter gunships have fired several rockets at Palestinian positions near Bethlehem, lighting up the night sky throughout south Jerusalem. The action came after Prime Minister Ehud Barak announced to his cabinet earlier today that he is indeed calling a "time-out" from the collapsed Oslo process. He denounced the earlier Arab summit resolution for implicitly supporting the continuation of the violent Palestinian uprising. The time-out announcement , which was strongly opposed by some of his ministers, may allow the opposition Likud party to join a National Emergency Government in the coming days. Reports tonight say that Likud leader Ariel Sharon will ask that former foreign minister David Levy be returned to that position. Levy resigned to protest Barak's compromise stands at the failed Camp David summit. Meanwhile, Yasser Arafat returned to the Gaza Strip from the Arab League emergency summit in Cairo and said that he will continue his drive to make Jerusalem his capital. He added that anyone who tries to stop him "can go to hell." (He has made the same threat many times before, but always couched it in more diplomatic language such as "can drink the water of the Dead Sea"). At least four Palestinians were killed in continuing violent clashes today in most parts of the disputed territories. The Israeli rocketing of Beit Jalla, near Bethlehem, came after shots were fired tonight at the Jewish Gilo neighborhood in southwest Jerusalem. Four apartment buildings were hit in the neighborhood, but no Israeli casualties were reported. IDF tanks fired back with machine guns. The helicopter rockets were fired after the government warned that it was prepared to destroy buildings in Beit Jalla if the firing continued from the Arab town, which is under Arafat's full control. Arab residents were earlier told to immediately evacuate their homes, signaling that Israeli army counter-action was imminent. In Iraq today, a massive anti-Israel rally was held to support Saddam Hussein's call for a "holy war to liberate Jerusalem."
