Clashes over olive harvest begin in Ni'lin
A group of international and Israeli activists clashed on Friday with Israeli settlers as they accompanied Palestinians from the village of Ni'lin to their lands on the far side of the separation wall in order to harvest the olives from village trees. About 40 activists clashed with as many settlers. The latter claim that the olive grove that was to be harvested does not indeed belong to the Ni'lin family that went to harvest the fruits. The settlers tried to prevent the activists and the Palestinian family from reaching the trees.

Report: US troops uncovered dozens of tunnels under Gaza
US soldiers are aiding Egyptian officials in the search for illegal smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, according to a report published by a major Israeli newspaper on Thursday. Hebrew daily Yediot Ahronot said Thursday that American soldiers--operating under the guise of civilian contractors--discovered 42 tunnels under Rafah over the past month. US forces found the tunnels with advanced American technology and help from other engineering experts, the paper reported. The tunnels were supposedly used for smuggling arms into the Gaza Strip. Sources also said that US troops were deployed around Gaza after American officials struck an agreement with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak at a Cairo meeting over six months ago. It was not immediately clear if American soldiers had actually entered the Gaza Strip or were working solely from the Egyptian side.
