"Suspected Be'er Sheva utilities sabotage bid
Police in Be'er Sheva arrested on Tuesday morning nine men, including a 14-year-old, suspected of attempting to sabotage vital Bezeq communication infrastructure as part of their protests against the disengagement plan. Several of the suspects were arrested while trying to sabotage communication boxes in the Be'er Sheva government compound and a main avenue in the city. Several of the nine were found with maps and blueprints marking infrastructure areas and banks in Be'er Sheva as well as keys for electricity boxes. They are suspected of planning to sabotage communication boxes in a bid to disrupt the banks' activity. The suspects were being interrogated by police on Tuesday morning. They are residents of the Hebron region, Gush Katif in the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights."

"Members of the National Home movement and other right-wing groups opposed to the disengagement plan announced Tuesday that they were putting off their plan to block roads and junctions around the country to next Wednesday because of a train crash near Revadim.
"The day after a tragedy of this kind occurs the public is unwilling to sympathize with a demonstration that might seem as if it endangers the lives of motorists - even though the protesters will be risking mainly their own lives," said an unofficial spokesperson for the right-wing activists.
A truck had crashed into a train near the southern town of Revadim Tuesday afternoon, causing dozens of casualties and seven deaths.
Police in response lowered a high state of alert, declared after they received information that disengagement foes had planned to bring traffic to a stand-still on Wednesday by blocking roads and junctions.
Earlier on Tuesday, police arrested 11 West Bank settlers after receiving information they were gathering roadspikes and ninja throwing stars in preparation for anti-pullout demonstrations planned for Wednesday.
The northern West Bank settlers, including two minors, were arrested at Moshav Beit Gamliel in the center of the country.
Police have been collecting intelligence information as part of their preparations for Wednesday's planned anti-pullout demonstrations around the country.
The Shin Bet received information that right-wing activists were preparing various weapons at a Beit Gamliel warehouse for use during the protests.
On Monday night, police officers and Shin Bet agents raided the warehouse and arrested the 11 suspects. On Tuesday morning, their remands were extended until Sunday. Three of them will remain in custody until Monday. The two minors were released with restrictive conditions.
Police said they uncovered "a plan by residents of the Yitzhar settlement to harm vehicles across the country and to endanger drivers and public transportation."
The suspects were also found with maps and other documents. They were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit crimes, manufacturing of offensive devices and posing danger to human life. It is still not clear if the activists planned to use the weapons against police officers. An order forbidding publication of details of the affair was lifted late Tuesday afternoon.
Police to go on highest alert ahead of protests The police announced on Tuesday they will be raising their state of alert to the highest level on Wednesday as part of its preparations to counter threats by disengagement opponents to block 23 central highways and junctions across the country in the afternoon.
The police command has decided to treat the right-wing declarations extremely seriously following the last operation initiated by the Bayit Leumi movement several weeks ago when dozens of highways and junctions across the country were blocked simultaneously.
At a meeting of the police senior command on Tuesday morning, district commanders presented intelligence data and their deployment plans ahead of Wednesday's planned road-blockings.
According to the anti-disengagement declarations, the junctions and highways to be blocked include the Golani junction in the north, the Geha and Ayalon highways in the center of the country as well as the entrance to Jerusalem.
Prison Service: we are expecting 2,500 detainees The Israel Prison Service Commissioner Ya'akov Ganot said before the Knesset Constitution Committee on Tuesday that the service was expecting to keep in detention 2,500 disengagement-foes during the Gaza Pullout.
The committee was discussing the preparation of law enforcement procedures for the imminent evacuation of Gaza Strip settlements.
The Court Administrator Judge Boaz Okon said in the discussion that a judge call-up system had been organized to relieve pressure in case the courts are flooded with arrest hearings.
