...around 2 a.m. on July 1, an allied ground force of 300 to 400 troops, together with air support, was engaged in a series of operations throughout the Deh Rawod region. A B-52 bomber pounded a cave and tunnel complex; special forces on the ground discovered a weapons cache with thousands of rounds of armor-piercing ammunition. Allied sources in Afghanistan say that ground forces saw a mortar being covered with a tarpaulin in Kakarak and that later they were fired upon as they approached the village. At that point the soldiers called in support from...

...Yitzchak, who heads the Border Police unit responsible for patrolling the seam line between Israel and the West Bank. A fence constructed around the entire Gaza Strip in 1994 has proved valuable. According to Avi Dichter, head of the Shin Bet, Israel's domestic-security agency, not one suicide bomber has entered Israel from the Gaza Strip since the current uprising began. The new barrier, at least initially, won't completely fence off the West Bank. But it will make it much harder for Palestinians to cross between the militant hotbeds in the north of the West Bank...
