The Israeli forces took over a hilltop known as Abu Sneineh, after Palestinians fired from the hill at Jewish visitors to the divided city on Thursday for the second day in a row. The incursion followed a harsh speech by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who all but cancelled US-sponsored efforts for a ceasefire after a string of Palestinian attacks. Mr Sharon said Israel would take whatever actions necessary to protect its citizens, a signal that a ban on operations inside Palestinian territory, part of the truce, was over. Gunfire from Abu Sneineh towards Jewish settlers has been an almost daily occurrence. Israeli troops control about 20% of Hebron, guarding about 500 Jewish settlers living in three enclaves among 130,000 Palestinians. On Wednesday and Thursday, Palestinians fired at Israelis visiting the city and its disputed holy site, the traditional burial cave of the biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Two women were wounded on Wednesday. In a statement, the Israeli military said forces were sent into Palestinian areas because of constant gunfire at the settlers and the attacks on the visitors. The statement said the soldiers would remain in Palestinian areas "for a limited time" until their mission is completed. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_415818.html > _________________________________________________ > > KOMINFORM > P.O.
