But heavy exchanges of firing between neighboring villages were halted while villagers of both sides helped the other extricate vehicles from heavy snow drifts. Once the cars and trucks were freed, the shoot- ing started again. Israel's Labor Party said this week that Israeli troops should be withdrawn from the mountain region. It said the IDF should not play policeman between the enemies in an area that has nothing to do with Israeli security.
