When a would-be Palestinian terrorist infiltrator was shot and killed on Saturday night by IDF forces, it was not realized the extent of the catastrophe that had been averted. On his dead body was found a ten-kilogram pack of explosives, and he had planned to carry out a massive attack in central Israel. The terrorist was apparently a member of the Islamic Jihad.



Palestinian terrorists shot this morning at a bus and the IDF patrol jeep that accompanied it, near Shavei Shomron. No one was hurt, and IDF soldiers pursued the attackers. Arabs opened fire at the towns of Psagot and Efrat last night; no one was hurt.
