Further to my voice mails this morning, I'm attaching the latest security 
briefing memo on the Gaza evacuation situation.  Please let me know if you 
have any questions.


Kind regards,
Dan

Subject: Gaza Update Nov 22

Tom,
Mark,

Five Palestinians (one a woman) killed at approximately 12 noon while 
travelling in a bus towards a Jewish settlement within Gaza; in this 
incident, an Israeli tank opened fire with its machine gun. Israelis 
reportedly suspected the bus was carrying terrorists. 

One Israeli shot dead yesterday in a separate occurrence in Gaza, while 
shootouts between settlers and Palestinians have led to demolition of market 
areas of towns (Hebron and Jenin).

* From cell phone call to Mohamed  El-Shareif, we understand the plant 
continues secured (main gate chained and locked shut) and unharmed; security 
personnel have left area and no EGOL or other employees permitted to enter; 
both Mohamed and Mahmoud Joudah, EGOL Admin Manager, drove to the site where 
they remained briefly this morning outside the gate.

* No LPG, vehicle fuel or food  supplies and only minimal medical supplies 
permitted into Gaza which, with other Palestinian areas, remains sealed off.

Observations:

Arafat,s announcement that Palestinian police are justified in firing at 
Israeli soldiers has escalated the tension, while the return home of the 
Egyptian Ambassador from Israel is viewed as an uncomfortable sign that the 
conflict has grown in importance regionally.

Because of the fear of vandalism, and especially loss of difficult-to-replace 
materials/equipment from the plant site, it is important to generate a daily 
reassessment of the evacuation order. This will allow a security presence to 
be re-established as soon as the reported targeting of the site by Israel is 
reversed. The EGOL O&M team is ready to recommence its work at that point. 

Sincere regards ) J.
