Terrorism goes on and on ...

In case you forgot why we have those nasty checkpoints in the West Bank, see this, by Efrat Weiss and Ali Waked from Ynet News, 22/10/08:

A 17-year old Palestinian was detained when soldiers at Hawara checkpoint near Nablus found a molotov cocktail and a pipe bomb on his person. The youth was transferred to security forces for questioning.

...and this from THE JERUSALEM POST, Oct. 23, 2008, by jpost.com staff and Judy Siegel:

Terrorist kills man, wounds cop in J'lem

86-year-old Avraham Ozeri was killed and a police officer was moderately wounded Thursday morning when they were stabbed near a school on Vardinon Street in Jerusalem's Gilo neighborhood by a young Palestinian terrorist.

Police said that the assailant, 21-year-old Mohammad Elmadan, from a village near Bethlehem, was stopped for inspection by a pair of officers, a man and a woman, when he pulled out a large knife and attacked the man....

...The attack was the second in a month in Jerusalem and the fourth since July.

On September 22, a Palestinian plowed his car into a group of soldiers at a busy intersection, injuring 13 before he was shot dead.

In two incidents in July, Palestinians carried out attacks on city streets using heavy construction machinery, killing three people and wounding several others.
