International reactions:

The White House has again called upon Yasser Arafat to issue a public statement condemning terrorist attacks in Israel, and to take the necessary steps to apprehend terrorists and end the ongoing wave of terrorism. The Americans, who were notified of Israel\'s attack in advance, also called upon Israel to \'act with restraint\' and relax restrictions imposed on PA residents.

Norway, on the other hand, announced today that it recognized the Palestinians\' right to throw rocks and otherwise clash with the Israeli forces in Judea and Samaria.

Egypt and Jordan were also reportedly notified in advance. The PA correctly guessed that the attack would occur, and began evacuating its Force 17 forces yesterday afternoon.
