The Palestinian Authority and its associated terrorist organizations have intensified the warfare against Israel in the past two days. Amidst a rush of attacks in various areas of the country, Shlomo Elmakias, a soldier, was murdered last night at the Um el-Fahm Junction in the lower Galilee. The terrorists pulled up next to the victim\'s car at a traffic light and asked for directions. After ascertaining that the intended victims were in fact Jewish, the terrorists opened fire. Shlomo was gravely wounded and died almost immediately; his wife and three children were lightly wounded.
