The undeclared Oslo War escalated a number of notches today. A mortar rocket was actually fired into Jerusalem late this afternoon, landing in the backyard of a Gilo resident. Palestinians also fired massively towards Gilo, and one woman was lightly wounded.
Three Arab terrorists were killed in a successful air strike by Israel Air Force helicopter gunships this afternoon. The Israelis fired air-to-surface missiles at the Bethlehem home of a senior Hamas terrorist, killing three Hamas members and injuring other terrorists and passers-by. General Security Service (Shabak) sources reported that the terrorists were on their way to carrying out a major attack against the Maccabiah Games, being held not far away in southern Jerusalem, and that a \"much larger catastrophe\" had been averted.
An intensive manhunt took place in Petach Tikvah this afternoon for a suicide bomber, based on intelligence warnings of a possible attack there. Twenty emergency ambulances were placed on alert status in the Tel Aviv suburb, until the search was called off.
