Idit Mizrachi, 22, of Rimonim - between Jericho and Ofrah - was murdered last night by Palestinian terrorists in an ambush attack. Her father, who was driving, was lightly wounded, while her brother was unhurt, when their car was shot at not far from Ma\'aleh Michmash. By special permission of Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, she was buried in the Mt. Herzl Military Cemetery next to her brother who fell while serving in the army five years ago. National Infrastructures Minister Avigdor Lieberman, representing the government at the funeral, said that we must have no diplomatic contacts with \"lowly murderers.\"
Binyamin-area residents will man a protest-and- mourning tent at the murder site throughout the week of mourning. The closure imposed by the army on the nearby Arab village is still in effect - although by government orders, it is not total, and one road has been left open by which villagers who have been security-checked may enter and leave.
