Israel steps up security...
Israeli security forces in the Palestinian territories, along the border with the West Bank and inside Israel are on full alert following threats by Hamas to avenge the killing of its top military leader Salah Shehadeh in an Israeli air attack on his home early Tuesday. Israeli police have stepped up patrols along the seam line, while security measures at the entrances to cities and towns throughout the country have been intensified. Security sources said that Hamas threats to avenge are being treated seriously and that all appropriate measures were being taken to try and thwart suicide bombings and other attacks. Nevertheless, senior police sources stressed that there was no way of hermetically sealing the border and guaranteeing that no bombers would be able to get through.That's why the Bad Guys do things the way they do...
