Danny Yehuda, 35, of Chomesh, was murdered shortly after noon today in a typical drive-by terrorist shooting attack as he was driving near his home. A 16-year-old passenger suffered moderate wounds in the attack. The Arab murderers shot from a passing car, which then escaped into a nearby Palestinian autonomous village. The wounded boy later recounted that after the first burst of fire, the terrorists approached the car; he played dead, and they fled. Danny\'s funeral will leave from Chomesh early this evening, pass by the Prime Minister\'s Office in Jerusalem, and end in the cemetery of Bnei Ayish, in the Ashdod area.
\"We have had many miracles throughout the months of these constant shootings,\" said Shomron Regional Council head Bentzy Lieberman, \"but today there was no miracle.\" Chomesh, 20 miles east of Netanya, is situated within a narrow strip only two miles wide, flanked on both sides by territory under total Palestinian control. Part of the two-mile strip itself is under PA administrative control. The Yesha Council issued a sharp statement laying the blame for today\'s murder on the Sharon Government, \"which allowed itself to fall into the trap of Arafat\'s fake cease-fire and lifted the closure on the cities in Judea and Samaria.\" The Council demands an immediate end to the \"sanguinary cease-fire.\"
