Israel will start taking the initiative in dealing with Palestinian violence, instead of just responding. This will involve the use of anti-guerilla commandoes. Army tanks are regularly being used to fire their main guns at Palestinian military posts and buildings Palestinians are firing from. In Jerusalem, a bomb was found under a car. The bomb was defused. Israel is also building new roads to bypass areas where Palestinians can fire on passing vehicles. The militant Islamic Jihad group has promised more attacks against Israelis. On the Lebanese border, troops came under fire.
