In reaction to recent terror attacks in which 31 Israeli had lost their lives, the Israeli army made several incursions into Palestinian-controlled territory.

About 50 tanks entered Nablus, the West Bank's largest city.

On Thursday, the army began calling up reserves for what television reports said would be a military campaign to be called "Determined Path."

The scope of the operation was not clear.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon broke off an engagement for high-level consultations and was to convene his security Cabinet later Friday.

Meanwhile in Ramallah, West Bank, Palestinian leader ,Yasser Arafat, said he wants international forces to come to the area.
