St.-Sgt. Ari Weiss, 21, who was killed during fierce gunbattles in Shechem yesterday afternoon, will be buried this afternoon in Ra'anana. Arab gunmen opened fire at the troops while the latter were on a routine patrol in the area. Another soldier was seriously wounded in yesterday's incident and is hospitalized in Tel HaShomer. Weiss immigrated with his family from the U.S. to Israel eleven years ago. The Islamic Jihad took responsibility for yesterday's shooting. The IDF placed a curfew on the city of Shechem, and Col. Noam Tivon, the commander of the Nachal Battalion that carried out the mission, said that there is no doubt that the IDF will emerge victorious in the Shechem campaign.
