In sign of calm, Israel removes gunfire barrier (AP)

August 15th, 2010

An Israeli army crane loads a part of a concrete wall in the Jewish neighborhood of Gilo in Jerusalem, Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010. Israel removed Sunday a concrete wall placed in 2001 in order to protect Israelis against gunfire from the nearby Palestinian village of Beit Jala. The military said the removal was due to a reduced security threat and increased coordination with the Palestinian security forces. (AP Photo/Sebastian Scheiner)AP - Israeli army cranes on Sunday began removing a concrete barrier that shielded a Jewish neighborhood bordering the West Bank from gunfire — a sign that calm is taking hold in the Palestinian territory.
