Transcribed from the clipping

Israeli bulldozers flattened a police station and five homes Friday in the deepest foray into Palestinian territory since field commanders last week were given a free hand to carry out such retaliatory raids... In the past seven days, there have been more than two dozen Israeli incursions into the West Bank and Gaza Strip in which Israeli troops razed 60 homes and hundreds of acres of farmland, Palestinian police said. 'We might now be witnessing the gradual undoing of the peace process,' said Palestinian commentator Ghassan Khatib.
