| Settlers attempt to expell Palestinian community Ein Al Hilwa in Jordan Valley | | Fathy - ISM - A small Palestinian community, composed of 10 families, in Ein Al Hilwa, located in the northern Jordan Valley (see attached map), has in recent days been experiencing growing settler harassment and intimidation at the hands of Israeli settlers from Maskiyot settlement.

| Israel tries new tactics against Palestinian protesters | | Edmund Sanders - Los Angeles Times - A white armored truck rumbles toward the scene. Protesters dive for cover as a small cannon on the vehicle`s roof takes aim and fires — not bullets or tear gas, but a heavy stream of the foulest-smelling liquid imaginable. Is it the sickly sweet odor of decomposing flesh? A trash dump on a hot day? Vomit? Those who`ve been doused wax on in vain, trying to find a worthy description for the stench that won`t go away, no matter how hard you scrub, for several days. Israeli soldiers call the truck the Skunk, and they say it has become one of their favorite tools in confronting the rising challenge of West Bank demonstrations.
