Low Intensity Conflict - Too Low?

I am awaiting Yehudit Tayar's report but this latest Meir Amit Center chronology seems woefully scarce of low-intensity terror:

An IDF Force Discovers IEDs

There has recently been an increase in attempts to smuggle improvised weapons through Israeli security forces checkpoints:

•On April 24 (Memorial Day eve) four IEDs were seized at the Beqaot checkpoint. In the late afternoon two Palestinians arrived at the checkpoint (located north of Jericho and east of Nablus) carrying a suspicious bag. Soldiers stationed at the checkpoint inspected the bag and found four IEDs. The two Palestinians were apparently taken by car from the Nablus region and left near the checkpoint, which they wanted to pass through on foot.

•On the evening of April 28 an IDF force stationed at the Hawara checkpoint (south of Nablus) stopped a Palestinian with two IEDs on his person. He was taken for questioning. The two IEDs were detonated by an explosives expert.
