The three victims of yesterday's terrorist attacks have been buried. Yosef Ajami, 36, from Jerusalem, was laid to rest in the capital today. He was shot on his way home from overseeing the construction of a bypass road around the village of Yabed in the northern Shomron. He is survived by his wife Aliza and their four children, the youngest of them a two-month-old baby.
Police Sgt. Moshe Hezkiyah, 21, was buried this afternoon in his hometown of Elyachin, south of Hadera, in the process of thwarting a massive suicide attack. As he approached a suspicious Arab at the Um el-Fahm junction on the Hadera-Afula highway yesterday afternoon, the man detonated a powerful explosive, killing Hezkiyah and wounding four other people. Police assume he was planning to detonate his bomb aboard a bus to Afula.
David Buchbut, 67, of Maaleh Adumim, was buried last night. The Jerusalem Magistrates Court today extended the remand of three eastern Jerusalem Arabs suspected of the murder. They stand to be accused of abducting Buchbut to El-Azariya (just outside Jerusalem), torturing and murdering him, and then attempting to burn the body.
IDF forces apprehended seven Arabs suspected of terror activity throughout Yesha (Judea, Samaria, and Gaza) last night. One of the men arrested in the Shechem district was an Al-Aksa Brigade terrorist who was planning a suicide attack in the near future. The Al-Aksa brigade claimed responsibility for yesterday's murderous shooting attack in the northern Shomron. Four of those taken into custody were members of the Islamic Jihad terror organization. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for yesterday's suicide bombing at the Um el-Fahm junction in northern Israel, which killed policeman Moshe Hezkiyah.
On the Gaza front, Arabs launched anti-tank rockets at the Tarmit outpost in southern Gaza last night. No injuries were reported…Sappers were summoned to dispose of a bomb in the Jenin district today. The device was detonated in a controlled explosion without incident.
An army demolition crew last night leveled the family homes of two suicide terrorists in Abu Dis, just east of Jerusalem. The two Arabs killed eleven Israelis by detonating their explosives one after the other outside Cafe Rimon in Jerusalem’s Ben-Yehuda pedestrian mall on December 1, 2001. The demolitions were facilitated by yesterday's Supreme Court ruling that the army could destroy the terrorists' homes.
