Jerusalem police prevent highway blockage

Jerusalem police on Thursday prevented a group of
suspected far-right activists from blocking traffic on the main Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway, in the latest attempt at civil disobedience against the planned withdrawal from Gaza, police said.

The activists were carrying several tires near the highway but then hurled the tires on the ground and fled the scene after they were spotted by police.

From JPost:

Why did the police reveal how much they know about Gaza's settlers?

As part of the government's carrot-and-stick approach to weaken settler resistance to the pullout plan, the police this week made a strategic move and decided in the game of disengagement poker to show their hand to their opponent – the settlers.

While Justice Minister Tzipi Livni is pushing the carrot to the settlers – the Nitzanim beaches for relocation – the police this week pulled out the stick – their plan for the evacuation, which they say cannot be defeated.

Senior officers on Wednesday presented the police's operational plan for the evacuation from the Gaza Strip and northern Samaria down to the nitty-gritty details. They include satellite photos of the settlements, and details which police claim – three months before the pullout – constitute personal information about the families and the "threat levels" they will pose to evacuating forces.
