SOME TRUCE!

Palestinian Terror Hits 18-Month High, Despite Truce - Amos Harel (Ha'aretz)
July was the worst month for terrorist attacks in the last year and a half - with 436 incidents, including the firing of 142 mortar shells. In February, when the truce started, there were only 129 incidents. 21 Israelis were killed and 238 wounded by Palestinian terrorists during the first seven months of 2005, according to figures published by the Shin Bet security service. Planned terror attacks thwarted by the Shin Bet during this period included abductions of soldiers and settlers in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, suicide bombings in the heart of Israel, shooting attacks on Israeli vehicles, and a suicide bombing on the Temple Mount.
