Today, there was quite a lot of violence being employed by the police/army in Amona, all for the sake of wrecking nine houses there.

Likud MK Uzi Landau has said that acting "prime minister" Ehud Olmert wanted a violent confrontation, which was not only disgraceful, it was also un-Israeli.

As OneJerusalem.Org says:

Our prayers go out the victims of this violent assault against Israeli citizens. We are particularly saddened by the injuries of young people and others including our friend and supporter of Jerusalem MK Effi Eitam. What type of government orders an assault on its own people that injures a hero like General Eitam?

One that leans towards an un-Israeli position, that's what.

In other news around Israel, there was a terrorist attack on soldiers around Har Dov in the north:

An Arab terrorist shot at IDF soldiers at an army outpost in the Har Dov area on Wednesday. The gunman crossed the northern border into Israel and it is not clear whether or not he was accompanied by a second person who may have escaped.

No injuries and no damage were reported.

There have been numerous warnings about terrorist attempts to kidnap IDF soldiers in recent months, and forces have been on high alert.

There was also a firebomb attack near Bethlehem:

(IsraelNN.com) Israeli vehicles were targeted on Wednesday evening by a firebomb attack. Five firebombs were thrown at drivers southeast of Bethlehem.

IDF soldiers arrested a suspect.

No injuries or damage was reported.

Whatever, it's disgraceful that the would-be government sees assault on innocent Jews as being more important than the country's own security.

Update: there was also a rocket attack against Sderot.
