http://www.nj.com/newsflash/international/index.ssf?/cgi-free/getstory_ssf.cgi?a0417_BC_Israel-Palestinians HEBRON, West Bank (AP) -- The Israeli army has set up two military outposts in Hebron -- flying Israeli flags over Palestinian areas of the divided West Bank city for the first time in six years -- while both sides on Sunday blasted tenuous peace moves.
The army set up the two watchtowers in the Palestinian neighborhoods of Abu Sneineh and Harat al-Sheikh -- areas that overlook Jewish settler enclaves in the Israeli-controlled downtown sector.
The blue-and-white Israeli flag flew atop the watchtowers while soldiers protected from the heat by canvas tents kept an eye on the Palestinian areas.
