Palestinian terrorists have stepped up attacks on Israel just as diplomatic efforts to restart peace talks get underway in the Middle East and the United States. In addition to mortar shells fired at Israel from Gaza today (Jan. 7), 10 bombs likely planted by Iran-backed Hezbollah were found yesterday by UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon, and recently an Israeli man was killed in a shooting attack in the West Bank.[1]
In the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, terrorists who seek to destroy Israel have typically launched attacks during efforts for peace and a two-state solution. The new flurry of peace efforts began on Dec. 29, when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to Cairo to meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to discuss how to resume negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. And Friday (Jan. 8), the Egyptian foreign minister, the Egyptian intelligence chief and Jordan’s foreign minister hope to move the peace process forward when they meet Obama administration officials in Washington.[2]
Recent Terrorist Activity
• The Popular Resistance Committees terrorist group fired at least 10 mortar shells today (Jan. 7) into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip. Three of the shells exploded close to the Kerem Shalom goods crossing, a major conduit for humanitarian aid transferred daily from Israel into Gaza.[3] As a result of the attacks, the Ministry of Defense was forced to close the crossing as dozens of aid trucks waited on the Israeli side to enter Gaza.[4]

The Arabs don't want peace. And there's something amusing and infuriating about Israel shipping in aid to an enemy bent on killing Jews.
