The police continue to investigate the murder of Kibbutz Manara\'s Security Coordinator, Yitzchak Kvartach, and the accompanying theft of several dozen weapons and a large quantity of ammunition. The police say that they are still in the dark about what occurred, but the GSS is reported to believe that it was an act of terrorism with possible consequences for future attacks. Officials say that the act was planned very cleverly, as it involved finding one of the three men who hold the key to the kibbutz armory, forcing him to the site, killing him, and making off with some 70 pieces of weaponry - all without being detected.
Members of the kibbutz along the Lebanese border report that Kvartach fought in the battle for Jerusalem\'s Ammunition Hill in the Six Day War in 1967, and that he was wounded in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. A 55-year-old bachelor who was believed to have been on vacation with relatives until a few hours before his dead body was discovered yesterday, his funeral this afternoon will be attended by many senior military personnel and security officials.
