TEL AVIV [MENL] -- The government of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin
Netanyahu, despite warnings by the intelligence community, has been stunned
by the ferocity of Jewish resistance to demolition operations in the West
Bank.
Officials said Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak were taken by
surprise by the violent opposition to the demolition of Jewish homes and
communities in the West Bank, with more than 400,000 Jewish residents. They
said the number of Jews prepared to fight Israeli soldiers and police as
well as stage provocations exceeded operational assessments.
