As the world turns it attention to new proposals - normalization with the Arabs in exchange for Israel\'s transfer of all the territories from which the Palestinians of Jordan launched a war to destroy Israel in 1967, including the Old City of Jerusalem - Arab terrorism continues to claim more Jewish lives each day. Two Jews were murdered on Monday afternoon outside Nokdim east of Gush Etzion, a policewoman was killed that night in N\'vei Yaakov, and an Israeli employer was shot to death by his Arab worker at 6:30 this morning.



Avraham Fish, 65, and Aharon Gorov, both of Nokdim, were murdered by Palestinian terrorists between Tekoa and Nokdim, south of Bethlehem, on Monday afternoon. They were on their way home to participate in Purim holiday celebrations when the shots rang out. Fish\'s daughter, Tamar Lipschitz, in her ninth month of pregnancy, was shot in the lower abdomen, and her daughter Karine, 4, suffered from shock. Tamar was rushed to the hospital and successfully delivered a baby girl by Caesarean section. Both Avraham Fish and Aharon Gorov, a father of four children aged 2, 4, 6, and 8, were immigrants from Russia.



Police officer 1st Sgt. Galit Arbiv, 21, of Nesher, died of her wounds Monday night when a terrorist opened fire at a bus stop in the N\'vei Ya\'akov neighborhood in northern Jerusalem. The Arab opened fire at a group of pedestrians and at residents inside an apartment building near the last stop of the No. 25. Police from the nearby station raced to the scene, and in the ensuing shoot-out two policemen and a policewoman - Galit Arbiv - were all seriously wounded; Galit, of the northern coast city of Nesher, died in the hospital. Jerusalem Police Chief Mickey Levy said, \"She was a highly motivated police woman with great potential, who specifically asked to be stationed in Jerusalem. She saw police work as her mission, and acted with great courage in confronting the terrorist.\"



N\'vei Yaakov was established as a Jewish neighborhood in 1924 and named after Rabbi Yaakov Reines. The Jordanian Arab Legion occupied N\'vei Yaakov during Israel\'s War of Independence and expelled the Jewish residents. The area was finally liberated during the Six Day War when Israel re-captured N\'vei Yaakov and re-settled it.
