Drop In Violence Hints
Intifada's Winding Down
Shuafat Refugee Camp,
Israel (JTA) — Young
residents of this large refu-
gee camp inside Jerusalem's
municipal boundaries on
Sunday celebrated the
beginning of the 34th month
of the intifada with scenes
reminiscent of the early days
of the Palestinian uprising.
The road leading to the
camp was covered with im-
provised barricades. Youths
standing among the remains
of old cars, barbed wire and
other junkyard material
waved the Palestinian flag
and yelled slogans of support
for Saddam Hussein and
Yassir Arafat.
A small force of border
policemen were on hand to
scare the youths back into
the camp. Only two shots of
tear gas were fired to
disperse them, a far cry from
the violent early days of the
intifada.
But the minor clash was
enough to get some smiles
out of local residents. "You
see," said one resident, who
had just come from
Jerusalem, where he used
the strike day to do some
shopping, "it is not true
what they say that the in-
tifada is dead. It is reviv-
ing."
But in fact, the intifada is
ailing, judging by the overall
scene in the administered
territories Sunday. The
streets were empty and
while all stores were closed
in observance of the strike,
many schools in the West
Bank remained open.
Outwardly, there are still
manifestations of Palestin-
ian nationalist strength. But
many Palestinians admit
privately that the intifada
seems to be over, at least for
the time being.
"The people are tired, and
there is no one to wake them
up," said one Palestinian
journalist.
But preoccupation of the
local population with the
Persian Gulf crisis seems to
be even a bigger factor. Peo-
ple are well aware of the fact
that as long as the crisis re-
mains unresolved, there is
little chance for the local
crisis to capture headlines.
Another reason for the
slow pace of the intifada is
the army's new policy, under
Defense Minister Moshe
Arens, of reducing points of
frictions with the local
population as much as possi-
ble.
The army received strict
orders to refrain almost
categorically from using
firearms against the local
population. In the entire
month of August, only one
Palestinian was shot dead in
a clash with the security
forces, compared to almost
daily casualties in the past.
The latest move toward
liberalization initiated by
Arens is a guideline issued
to the military prosecutors
to request fines, rather than
imprisonment, for Palestin-
ian stone-throwers whose at-
tacks have caused no
physical or property
damage.
That is a clear departure
from the iron fist policy of
former Defense Minister
Yitzhak Rabin. A senior
security source explained
that the shift is a logical
consequence of the reduction
of violence in the territories.
"Don't forget that we
adopted stricter measures as
a reaction to growing
violence, and not as a trigger
to the violence," he said.
Teens Return
From Jordan
Jerusalem (JTA) — Two
Israeli teen-age boys who
were missing for a week
have returned safely from
Jordan, successful in their
quest to see the famed an-
cient city of Petra but regret-
ful over the commotion they
caused their family and the
government.
Shortly before 10:30 a.m.
Sept. 6, Hananel Shear-
Yashuv and Lior Mizrahi of
Jerusalem crossed the
Allenby Bridge between
Jordan and Israel, bringing
a happy end to the drama of
their disappearance.
"I believe we have acted
very foolishly," Mr. Mizrahi
said, after a six-hour inter-
rogation by police. "Our ac-
tion was irresponsible, we
endangered ourselves enor-
mously, and only with the
help of God are we alive in
Israel."
The youths, both 17, were
first reported to have
vanished while on a trip to
the Arava. They had not told
their parents where they
were going, but they were
seen getting off a bus at
Be'er Menucha, about 55
miles north of Eilat and 25
miles due west of Petra, a
fabled city of Nabatean
ruins and a favorite secret
getaway of Israelis.
The youths took off their
kipot and crossed the border
the night of Aug. 26,
