Two Israelis are in critical or serious condition after Arab terrorists shot them as they were driving southeast of Hevron late this morning near the hostile village of Yata. Two other passengers were hurt less seriously. Army forces entered Yata in search of the murderers. The drive-by attack occurred at the same Zif Junction at which Yossi and Chana Dickstein and their son Shuva'el were murdered on July 26 (leaving nine orphans), together with Elazar Liebovitz. Two other fatal roadside or drive-by shootings have occurred on Yesha roads since then, claiming the lives of Avi and Avital Vilensky, the 16th husband-and-wife couple to fall victim to Palestinian terrorists since Sept. 2000, two months ago, and of Yosef Ajami, a 36-year-old father of four, three weeks ago.
Later this afternoon, Palestinian gunmen fired at homes in Admot Yeshai (Tel Romeida) in the Hevron Jewish Community. One home sustained damage. The IDF has begun bringing in forces to the hills overlooking the Jewish areas.
Hizbullah fired anti-aircraft shells near Shlomi, in the western sector of Israel's northern border this morning. No one was hurt.
IDF forces arrested ten wanted terrorists throughout Yesha today, including seven in Gaza. They were transferred to the General Security Service for interrogation.
