Following the suicide-bombing in Netanya on Wednesday night - when over 200 people sat down to the ritual Passover Seder, and 21 were killed when the murderer detonated a ten-kilogram explosive - the Palestinian thirst for Jewish blood was not quenched, and yet another Arab terrorist infiltrated the town of Elon Moreh last night and murdered four members of one family. The terrorist began firing in various directions, then entered a house where he shot several members. Rachel Gavish, her 25-year-old son Avraham - an officer in the General Staff - and her father-in-law Kenner were murdered, and shortly afterwards her husband David died of his wounds. The terrorist went to the second floor of the house, where two other family members locked themselves in one of the rooms. Special IDF and Border Guard forces arrived on the scene, and evacuated the dead and wounded. They then waged a battle with the terrorist and killed him.
This morning, another Palestinian terrorist entered Netzarim, in Gush Katif, and stabbed to death two worshipers at holiday prayers in the local synagogue. The residents say it is not true that the terrorist was a long-time worker in the town who was able to smuggle in a knife, because no workers entered this morning. In addition, he has not yet been caught, such that his identity is not known. Army forces are pursuing him.
Prime Minister Sharon, after a several-hour Cabinet meeting last night, announced that Arafat is \"an enemy\" and will be isolated. Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said that the army is preparing for several weeks of a campaign against terrorism - although he emphasized that Israel would not remain in all the PA-controlled areas. Some 20,000 reservists are scheduled to be called up for active military duty. The IDF began a major offensive into Ramallah this morning, and tanks even entered Arafat\'s Muktaa compound in a search for wanted terrorist leaders.
