Within a 50-yd. radius of the scene, soldiers worked to trace the origin of the shots. Fearing that other shooters might be training their sights on his men, Dagan ordered an armored personnel carrier and a Merkava tank to rumble up to secure a 500-yd. perimeter.

...clicked on a banner ad that directed him to Demandline, a digital marketplace where small businesses can get quotes for free on a wide variety of services from a network of suppliers. Register simply typed in a list of what he needed from a long-distance carrier, including two phone lines, a fax line and a toll-free number.
