MK Arieh Eldad (National Union-National Religious Party). (Tomer Appelbaum / Bau Bau) Last update - 14:27 30/04/2008 MK Eldad to Barak: Security on W. Bank roads is deteriorating By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: Shooting Attack, Israel  MK Arieh Eldad (National Union-National Religious Party) has recently complained to Defense Minister Ehud Barak about the deteriorating security situation along roads in the West Bank. Eldad's petition to the defense minister came amid a number of attempted shooting attacks by West Bank militants over the past few days. On Tuesday night, Palestinian gunmen fired at homes in the Adi Ad outpost near the West Bank settlement of Shiloh, causing no casualties. Advertisement Eldad wrote that incidents of "the throwing of stones, firebombs, and attacks on vehicles on roads in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] have recently been increasing, and are often accompanied by [militants'] attempts to block the path of Israeli civilians' vehicles and then lynch their occupants." Tuesday was not the first time Palestinians have opened fire on Adi Ad, one of the region's older outposts. Another attempted shooting attack also occurred in the same area three days ago, when gunmen fired on a bus carrying passengers to Shiloh. As happened in Tuesday's shooting, this shooting also took place under cover of darkness. Due to the bus' protective armor, the passengers escaped the attack unharmed. Eldad also registered a complaint over several cases of security forces confiscating settlers' personal weapons.
