Yet another area entered the list of first-time terrorist targets last night. Residents of Moshav Aviezer, south of Beit Shemesh, were instructed to stay in their homes for three hours while security forces pursued terrorists in the vicinity. The drama shortly after midnight with the successful killing of the terrorists, who managed beforehand to lightly wound two Border Guard policemen patrolling the area. An Israeli-Arab motorist was moderately wounded north of Tapuach in the Shomron today; the terrorists who shot at him most likely mistook him for a Jewish motorist since his vehicle has yellow Israeli license plates.



Other \"pre-ceasefire\" attacks today included: Gunfire at soldiers near the PA airport in Dahaniye, Gaza... A firebombing of a Border Guard patrol near the Orient House in eastern Jerusalem... Gunfire at an army position near a Jewish community in Gaza... A large bomb exploded along the Israeli-Egyptian border this morning, near an IDF force; no one was hurt in these incidents.



The Jerusalem District Court sentenced an eastern Jerusalem resident to 25 years in prison for his involvement in terrorist attacks in Givat Ze\'ev and central Jerusalem last July and September. It was also announced today that Jerusalem police had arrested the Arab who transported the suicide terrorist to his deadly Beit Yisrael attack in Jerusalem (11 dead), and two others who drove the killers to their Tel Aviv attack (3 dead) on March 5.
