French soldier stabbed in Paris

(Reuters) - A French soldier patrolling a business area of western Paris was stabbed in the neck on Saturday by a man who quickly fled the scene and was still being sought, a police source said.

The soldier, patrolling as part of France's Vigipirate anti-terrorist surveillance plan, was injured in the stabbing around 1800 p.m. but would survive, the source said.

French daily Le Parisien cited police sources as saying the suspected attacker was a bearded man of North African origin about 30 years old, and was wearing an Arab-style garment under his jacket.(1)

Another petty murder. Only 'resistance' for the thugs of the world.

Illegal Settlers Object to IDF RoE

Tensions in the West Bank are expected to increase on Friday as settler leaders plan protest marches to take place in support of the easing of open fire regulations in the territories.
Over the last six months, the settlers have balked at applying pressure on the Israel Defense Forces. However, since the murder of Yitzhar settlement resident Eviatar Borovzky at the end of April, settlers, with the backing of right-wing politicians, have been demanding that the IDF restore deterrence in the occupied territories by easing its rules of engagement.
The demonstrations are planned to take place next to the Palestinian refugee camps of Al-Arroub in the Hebron area, Jalazone near Beit El and near the Palestinian village of Kafr Kadum in Samaria.
In the meantime, GOC Central Command Maj. Gen. Nitzan Alon has been holding his ground regarding his instructions to commanders that soldiers avoid resorting to live fire as much as possible.(1)
The argument would n doubt lack clarity if not equally applicable to Pal./Arab victims. Nor does it address the issue of the illegal settlers commiting crimesi n the OPT, including against the IDF.
