Hadar Hershkovitz, 15, described as a \"natural leader\" by one of her teachers, was buried today in her hometown of Herzliya. She was the latest victim of the unceasing war of terrorism against the Israeli population - victim number 530 since the beginning of the Oslo War almost 21 months ago. The attack occurred when a Palestinian terrorist entered a popular falafel store in Herzliya last night, asked for a drink of water, and calmly blew himself up. Hadar, who had joked with someone only seconds before, was critically wounded, and died later of her wounds; five of the other 14 wounded are still hospitalized, including one in serious condition.



A slight improvement in the condition of the three boys wounded by a bomb outside Hevron yesterday was registered today. Two ninth-grade students are listed in moderate condition, while one eighth-grader - Dvir ben Chanah Devorah - is still in serious condition. The bomb went off as they were about to board a bus following a morning of cherry-picking in the Sdeh Kalev farm.



The 17th victim of last week\'s suicide bombing attack at Megiddo Junction remains unidentified. Forensic experts had checked several leads, but have so far failed to identify the remains of the male victim, apparently in his 50\'s. They will now consult with the police on the possibility of burying him as an unidentified victim.
