According to the report, Zilber's home was repeatedly broken into during the years she worked on the paper. A Trojan horse was also installed on her computer, allowing hackers to view her files and copy her paper. The IDF Spokesperson's Office denounced the report, which hinted that the IDF committee headed by Maj.-Gen. Udi Shani had plagiarized. "The committee never heard of or saw Zilber's paper on house demolitions," an IDF statement said. • Yaakov Katz Haredim attack J'lem Internet cafe Scores of haredi extremists attacked a central Jerusalem Internet cafe Wednesday after the store allowed haredim to surf the net, police said.

The plan reportedly called for them to move temporarily into the apartment building, and after that to take their own responsibility for permanent housing. The evacuees have been living in a temporary camp at Kibbutz Yad Mordechai for the past seven months. During that time, they have been seeking a permanent solution that would house all of them at Kibbutz Palmahim. They said the arrangement with the kibbutz was nearing completion, Army Radio reported. • Jerusalem Post staff
