The IDF wants to ease the curfews in West Bank cities, but says that it will stay put until the terrorist infrastructure has been taken care of (report). A pack with 3 bombs was discovered in a Jerusalem suburb.
On the radio this AM there was discussion about the International Criminal Court. Recently, Egypt submitted a proposal that a country's moving its population into territory occupied in war be termed a "war crime" - this proposal was accepted. Though the West Bank and Gaza are not strictly speaking "occupied", since the 1949 ceasefire lines were never an internationally recognized border, it's likely that a politicized court would deem them such. If the PA were a sovereign state that signed the ICC treaty, Israelis could be prosecuted if they travelled abroad.
