Shells also fell inside Israel. According to Israel Radio, KOL YISRAEL, a senior IDF source said today that weapon deliveries to Hizbullah have increased in recent months, facilitating an increase in attacks. According to THE JERUSALEM POST, the IDF Spokesman announced yesterday that Israel Air Force warplanes destroyed a tank used by Hizbullah as well as other heavy artillery pieces, marking the existence, for the first time, of hard evidence that Hizbullah possesses such equipment. IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Shaul Mofaz said on Thursday that Israel must refrain from walking into a Hizbullah trap and escalating the situation. Meanwhile, the United Nations declared on Thursday that the disputed Shebaa farm area, located on the western face of Mount Hermon on the approach to an IDF outpost on Har Dov, does not lie within Lebanese territory. Because the farm is not part of Lebanon, the IDF will be able to maintain several outposts in the area in conformance with UN Resolution 425. PALESTINIAN, ISRAELI CLASHES CONTINUE Palestinians clashed with Israeli security forces in renewed outbreaks of violence in Hebron and Bethlehem today when hundreds of Palestinian students marched to demand the release of additional Palestinian prisoners, HA’ARETZ reported. Senior officials in the Palestinian Authority security establishment met with senior Israel Defense Forces officers on Thursday night and said that they intend to prevent shooting incidents over the weekend. The IDF demanded that the PA take severe measures against Palestinian police who fired at IDF troops on Monday. According to MA’ARIV, the IDF is maintaining a high level of alertness in the West Bank and soldiers have been ordered to return fire. OC Central Command, Maj.-Gen. Moshe (Bougy) Ya’alon said on Thursday that "the Palestinians are firing up tensions in the field in order to obtain achievements in other areas." U.S., Israel, PA Experts Discuss Water Issues A U.S. delegation of water experts visited Israel on Thursday to discuss solutions to the water problems faced by Israel and the Palestinian Authority, HA’ARETZ reported. The delegation met with the Israeli team responsible for water issues, headed by Ministry of Defense official Noah Kinarti, and discussed plans for desalination projects. The U.S. and Israeli teams then met with the Palestinian team. Discussions were described as "productive," and the Israeli and Palestinian teams presented their short-and long term water needs, as well as possible solutions. BEILIN EXTENDS EMERGENCY LAWS Minister of Justice Yossi Beilin asked the Cabinet on Thursday to approve an extension of the state of emergency, under which Israel has formally operated for 52 years, due to a conflict with the Histadrut labor union, HA’ARETZ reported. Emergency regulations, many of them initiated during British mandatory rule, empower the Government to take measures to protect state security. Although cancellation of the emergency laws is one of Beilin’s primary goals as Minister, he said that a six-month extension from the current July 26 expiration date is necessary to ensure a "safety net" to maintain specific Government powers in the event that alternative legislation is not passed in time. At issue with the union is the legislation enabling the Government to operate vital services during a strike. The Histadrut strongly opposes efforts to legislate limits on strike actions, but lack of a legal alternative to the emergency regulations would leave the Government without authority to curb strikes affecting essential services such as hospitals and airports. TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY TO INAUGURATE "JEWISH PEOPLE’S NOBEL PRIZE" Tel Aviv University President Professor Itamar Rabinovich announced on Thursday that the University would set up a fund to award three $1 million prizes annually to individuals or groups that promote the Jewish people, HA’ARETZ reported. Rabinovich explained that prizes will be awarded in three different areas: a "past" prize will be awarded for work in areas such as history or archaeology, a "present" prize for contribution to public welfare and a "future" prize for contributions in the field of science. Members of Knesset Danny Naveh (Likud) Yuli Edelstein (Yisrael b’ Aliyah) and Rehavam Ze’evi (National Unity) visited Jonathan Pollard in a North Carolina Federal Penitentiary on Thursday, YEDIOT AHARONOT reported. Pollard has been in prison since 1987 on charges of espionage for Israel. The delegation reported that Pollard was in a good mental state. ECONOMIC BRIEFS * The heads of two major Internet companies, America Online Investments and eBay.com visited Israel this week to discuss potential investment and business cooperation, THE JERUSALEM POST reported. The President of AOLI said, "we have invested $190 million around the world and $60 million of that sum in Israel—the number one country for us outside of the United States." * Industrial exports were seven percent higher in the first four months of 2000, compared to the same period last year, reaching $6.13 billion, HA’ARETZ reported. The bulk of the growth came from the electronics sector, with Israeli exports totaling $2.44 billion for the first third of 2000.
