Israel cracks down on Gaza
expecting election day attack
By Mark Lavie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel
locked down the West Bank and
Gaza Strip on Sunday ahead of
its national election to keep out
Palestinian attackers, after a
large-scale military incursion
into Gaza and warnings that
Palestinians may try to disrupt
the voting with violence.
About 26,500 police and sol
diers were deploying to guard
against Palestinian attacks dur
ing the Tuesday voting, police
spokesman Gil Kleiman said.
There were general warnings of
attacks by Palestinians over the
next 48 hours, but no more than
usual, he said.
However, Israeli Defense
Minister Shaul Mofaz told
Israel’s Cabinet on Sunday that
there has been an increase in
warnings about possible
attacks by Palestinian militants
during the election.
“The defense minister
emphasized that Israel is in the
midst of an ‘assault of terror’ in
the run-up to the election, and
the scope of the warnings and
the attempts to carry out terror
attacks is very high,” a Cabinet
statement said.
On Sunday afternoon, Israel
imposed a blanket closure on the
West Bank and Gaza Strip, bar
ring all Palestinians from enter
ing Israel and confining most to
their communities. Israel has
enforced stringent travel bans on
Palestinians since the outbreak
of fighting, but Sunday’s restric
tions, to be in effect until
Wednesday, impeded movement
even further.
The military said the Allenby
Bridge between Jordan and the
West Bank and the Rafah cross
ing between Gaza and Egypt
would remain open.
Palestinians drew a connec
tion between the Israeli election
and a large-scale Israeli incur
sion into Gaza City early Sunday
in which 12 Palestinian gunmen
were killed and 67 wounded.
Palestinian Information
Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo
said it was part of Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon’s re-
election campaign.
The Gaza City raid began
shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday,
and ended Sunday morning.
After Israeli troops withdrew,
about 30.000 Palestinians joined
the funeral procession for the 12
gunmen killed in the fighting —
the highest death toll in Gaza in
five months. Those killed
included members of the
security forces and various
Palestinian militias.
The raid came in response to
the firing of crude, short-range
Qassam rockets at the Israeli town
of Sderot in the southern Negev
Desert, near Gaza, on Friday.
“The Israelis will pay a
heavy price for every drop of
blood shed last night.” Abdel

Venezuelans await currency
NEWS IN BRIEF
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)
—Venezuelans awaited details of
new currency controls, while pro
testers continued to press for the
ouster of President Hugo Chavez
in a nearly two-month-long strike
that has severely hampered the
economy, although oil production
was slowly increasing.
Chavez last week suspended
foreign currency dealings through
Tuesday and said he would
announce new currency controls
to halt the rush of nervous
Venezuelans trading in their cur
rency, the bolivar, for dollars.
Details about the new controls
and even when they will be
announced have not been
revealed, but there are fears the
government will largely limit the
availability of dollars to Chavez
supporters while cutting off those
taking part in the strike, which
began Dec. 2.
Production and Commerce
Minister Ramon Rosales said
dollars will be guaranteed for
food and raw materials for agri
culture, health and education.
