While Israel maintains its unilateral ceasefire, PA terrorists continued their unilateral war against Israel this afternoon when they murdered an Israeli woman and seriously injured at least two other people near N\'vei Daniel. The murderers shot at a van on its way north from Efrat to Jerusalem; one woman died of her wounds, her husband and child were wounded, another woman was critically wounded, and two others are listed in moderate condition.



Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said that Israel would maintain its unilateral ceasefire for as long as there is a chance that international peacemaking efforts may yet produce fruit. Coalition leader Likud MK Ze\'ev Boim, on the other hand, said that Israel must call off its ceasefire, as the continued murder of Israeli citizens cannot be tolerated.



MK Tzvi Hendel (National Union-Yisrael Beiteinu) demanded today that Prime Minister Sharon announce the end of his unilateral ceasefire immediately. \"He who prevents the army from fighting the terrorists will not be able to later claim that his hands did not shed the blood that flowed as a result,\" Hendel said. His party colleague MK Benny Elon later said that \"loyalty\" should be shown the Prime Minister; see article 5 below. In any event, the Prime Minister told American mediator William Burns last night that Israel will continue its ceasefire, and even implied that there will be a freeze on geographical expansion of existing Judea and Samaria towns.



Rabbi Yitzchak Levy, leader of the National Religious Party, said today that the government must initiate actions that will lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority.
