Industry has taken advantage of overlapping and unclear regulations to drag enforcement actions through the courts. The result is that it often takes years before utilities are forced to clean up their dirtiest plants.

They were stopped by an Israeli rescue force. One of the rescuers, Lieut. Eyal Yoel, and another soldier rushed into a house overlooking the ambush to provide covering fire. But as Yoel entered a room, he hit a trip wire. The explosion knocked him unconscious and set him afire. He died before his comrades could reach him.
