News update

For those of you interested in the situation in Israel in the past 24 hours:

There was a terror alert in Tel Aviv this morning. I heard there were roadblocks everywhere and most parts of the city were affected. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1227702392775&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

The 6 Israelis killed in Mumbai were brought home to rest this morning. But one victim's family has refused a State funeral because of their beliefs - as haridim Jews, they reject Zionism and the State of Israel. Nevertheless we pray for the repose of their souls. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1227702398037&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

This morning 1,500 Israeli rightwingers rampaged into Hebron to storm Israeli police for evacuating a Jewish settlement - which turned out to be a rumour. They clashed with local Hebron Palestinians. Also in Samaria rightwingers destroyed palestinian property. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1227702390742&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
