Seven Israelis were killed, victims of the Oslo War, in the 48-hour period that ended last night, and four of them were buried today. Nechemiah Amar, 15, was buried in his hometown of Ginot Shomron this afternoon, while the second victim, Keren Shatzky, 15, of nearby Karnei Shomron, will be buried tomorrow. The two were murdered last night by a suicide terrorist who blew himself up at a pizzeria in the Karnei Shomron shopping center. Keren will be buried after her grandfather, critically ill himself, arrives from the U.S.; her father had originally been scheduled to depart for the U.S. tonight to visit him.
The number of wounded in the attack reached 27, of whom 22 are still hospitalized. Doctors are fighting to save the lives of two girls in Schneider Children\'s Hospital in Petach Tikva, and two other girls are in serious condition. Most of them are friends of Keren who arrived at the pizzeria to celebrate her birthday. Another young teenager who was seriously wounded, Shira Raz, is considered by her doctors a \"medical miracle.\" One of them, a surgeon who safely removed a bomb-hurled iron nail from Shira\'s heart, said that he had never seen a comparable recovery in his 32 years of experience.
Mrs. Beverly Klein, who works in a jewelry store only two doors away from the site of last night\'s blast, is thankful she\'s alive. She told Arutz-7 today that she had only been at work for a few minutes when the blast went off: “I had just started setting up the display case when suddenly the entire window blew up in my face. There was a big boom and a burning smell, and shattered glass everywhere. I didn\'t understand exactly what happened at first, but I stepped back - or maybe I was pushed back by the blast - and then the entire piece holding up the window just crashed down… I was quite overwhelmed, could barely think clearly, and it was very noisy and there was a lot of commotion, so I headed for the road. I saw a man covered in blood and he asked me how bad he was… I tried to direct him to someone who could help.\" Another eyewitness later said, \"Whoever did not see the scene here last night, has never seen a horrific sight in his life.\"
