An Israeli woman was murdered late this afternoon, and another one was lightly wounded, when Arab terrorists shot at their car in the Ganim-Jenin area, in northern Shomron.
The murder comes towards the end of a relatively quiet day, attributed in part to U.S. Secretary of State Powell\'s visit in Israel. A mortar shell was fired towards Netzer Hazani in Gush Katif today; no one was hurt. This morning, Palestinian terrorists shot towards the town of Atzmonah in Gush Katif, Gaza, and later, for an extended period, towards nearby N\'vei Dekalim. An Israeli ambulance was also targeted. IDF soldiers refrained from returning fire. Arabs threw some 15 grenades at an IDF position near Rafiach over the night. Israeli and Palestinian security officials convened last night; no practical decisions were announced, except for an agreement to meet again next week.
Arabs in Hevron attacked Israeli targets again today, throwing 13 Molotov cocktails at IDF soldiers and policemen. No one was hurt; IDF soldiers withheld their fire. The attack occurred only a short while after the army removed the closure from around the Arab-controlled parts of the city; the closure was imposed three days ago after the resumption of shooting from the Abu Sneineh hills at the Jews\' Avraham Avinu neighborhood wounded four Israelis, including a 7-year-old boy.
The Herut Party in the Knesset - actually, its lone MK, Michael Kleiner - has submitted a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Sharon because of the government\'s negative attitude towards the Jews of Judea and Samaria. Kleiner explained that the lack of security there, together with the freezing of budgetary allocations and the talk of dismantling outposts, are all designed to \"sow despair among the settlers in order to get them to leave.\"
